The Twelve Absolutes of Leadership is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn and apply the essential elements of extraordinary leadership.

 

As a leader, you must be cognizant of the past, intensely focused on the present, and constantly aware of what the future is likely to hold. Your starting point is the here and now, the results that you realize today. From here, you must execute a strategy to take you there - a point that your team may or may not be able to see as yet.

 

So how does a leader accomplish all that? The answer lies in The Twelve Absolutes of Leadership. This engaging and highly readable book presents an actionable plan to build world-class leadership skills, based on the author’s expertise as the leader of a NYSE-listed firm and CEO of the world’s largest executive recruiting firm. The book also highlights discussions on the elements with leaders from a variety of industries and fields, from technology to entertainment, automotive to academics.
