by Mark Sanborn

Today’s leaders often lack clarity and therefore the ability to execute, leaving their organizations mired in the status quo.

While every company will approach these three imperatives differently, they’re the backbone of a successful company, and they’re the essential elements of intentional leadership.

1.5 stars rounded down. Written so circularly that it sounded like a bad infomercial. "But wait- there's more...but before I can tell you more, I have to outline ten different topics and subsections that take so long to get through I forget what they were building up to in the first place." If it wasn't for school, it would be a dnf.
