The Leader Habit spotlights 22 essential leadership abilities, breaking them down into a series of small, learnable behaviors.

This book offers a unique model for strategic leadership by encouraging leaders to think carefully about their personal leadership styles.

Leadership is a set of abilities with which a lucky few are born. They're the natural relationship builders, master negotiators and persuaders, and agile and strategic thinkers.
