Recommendation

Practicing positive leadership enables you to create a healthy organizational culture and cohesive teams. Positivity increases your ability to succeed and to meet life’s challenges. Positive leadership comes from having faith in the future and the resolve to solve difficult problems.

Gordon packs his advice with observations and case studies. His basic and occasionally profound advice will encourage leaders in search of inspiration.
