Resumen del Editor

From Plato to Plutarch, Shakespeare to Churchill, Machiavelli to Melville, Jane Austen to Carl Jung, Pericles to Peter Drucker and many more - here are the best leadership ideas of the past 25 centuries.

You don't need a big title or a business degree in order to lead with impact. What you need is practical wisdom: the insight, judgment and strength of character that all great leaders have but that most business schools and corporate workshops don't teach.

The Greats on Leadership gets you there. It's an in-depth tour of the best leadership ideas of the past 25 centuries - featuring classic authors from Shakespeare to Shaw, Churchill to Covey - combined with the best contemporary leadership concepts and plenty of real-life tools and examples.

No matter where in the organisation you sit, this remarkably practical guide will set you on the road to becoming a great leader.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
