Description
Great leaders and achievers-the masters and great ones do not owe their success to luck, birth, or mindless risk taking. Rather, insight, achievement, and leadership are not the result of happenstance - but of self-knowledge, training, and hard work. According to the authors great achievers throughout history-from Michelangelo to Einstein, Madame Curie to Bill Gates, Colonel Sanders to General Eisenhower-all have leadership characteristics that can be distilled into 10 key actions for extraordinary success.
