WHAT MAKES A LEADER?

?Leadership is an elusive concept. Nearly everyone is certain that he or she would like the mantle of leadership?whether at home, at work, in competitive events, or all three?but we rarely think through the implications. One of the first questions that requires asking is: Who do you seek to lead and why??

With the opening words of his introduction, popular voice of alternative spiri¬tuality Mitch Horowitz begins his journey into some of history's greatest ideas and insights about what makes a leader?and what is required of you to earn that appellation. These works are designed to help you distinguish between function¬ing as a mere boss and being a true leader, a title to which many aspire but few understand. The insights in The Leadership Bible help place you among the few. In this collection, Mitch assembles:
