Highly recommend

I do a lot of teaching in the area of leadership - this will be a classic - in my opinion. Robert Banks and the many other contributors, come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions. This book was refreshing - in that the writers actually wrote some new and refreshing thoughts. They have truely written outside the box.
