based on how well they perform the "operational" functions of a position.
This book will aid both new and experienced leaders in concentrating on the
necessary skills to fine-tune their relationship-building skills. The
Competent Leader is written in an easy-to-understand "how-to" format, it
offers action planning guides and assessments which help transfer newly
learned skills back to the workplace.
