At the Helm in the Storm: Seven Survival Strategies for Leaders in Turbulent Times – Leadership Advanced Level
Description
These are difficult times for leaders. Never has leadership been so important – or seemingly so dangerous. Courageous leaders not only face personal and career challenges, sometimes even their physical safety can be at stake. With the press full of stories of angry mobs and even bombs in the mail, leadership today is both risky and thankless. Fortunately, there are many ways to weather the storm.
