A NO-NONSENSE, BATTLE-TESTED PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPING EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS

BOTH IN YOUR ORGANIZATION AND YOURSELF

The ability to lead, far more than just a natural gift, is a concrete and learnable skill -- one that can be acquired by studying and applying specific proficiencies and attitudes. The Extraordinary Leader draws on responses from 200,000 questionnaires to define the skills that comprise effective leadership, and then provides a systematic and innovative program for attaining, developing, and implementing those skills.

"This is a "must read" for coaches, leaders, and those who develop them. The Extraordinary Leader goes beyond anecdotes or "war stories," it builds upon comprehensive research. it is destined to be a classic in our field." - MARSHALL GOLDSMITH

Named by Forbes as one of five top executive coaches and one of Wall Street Journal's "Top 10" executive educators.

"Extraordinarily readable! This book represents some of the best thinking on leadership I've seen in a long while." - E. DAVID SPRONG, President, Military Aerospace Support, The Boeing Company
