Too many companies are managed not by leaders but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What would it take to replace these empty suits with real leaders - men and women who are confident in who they are and who truly inspire people to achieve extraordinary results?

Rather, effective leaders are authentic: They deploy individual strengths to engage followers' hearts, minds, and souls.

De la mano de especialistas de Harvard Business Review, en este libro se explica cómo es posible forjar el carisma, la seguridad y la determinación que proyectan los grandes líderes.
