Could you be a leader?

Leadership is open to anyone willing to step up and take responsibility on the day and deliver what is needed. But as anyone who has ever been a leader knows, it's more hard work than glamour - more like being the last one standing on a sinking ship than posing under Klieg lights on a red carpet.
What creates leadership success?

Leadership is about relationships. Studies consistently show that an empowering leadership style makes a difference to both profit and productivity. The 50 secrets in this book will help you become the kind of leader who listens, speaks well, makes smart decisions, is clever at solving problems, has authority, gets and gives respect, wants personal growth, actively works and co-operates with others, and much more.
A model for great leadership
