Real Leaders Don't Boss Read online

  Real leaders must inspire those around them to achieve lasting success.

  Real leaders adhere 24/7 to all of the Eight Essentials of Effective Leadership, and, to infuse others with the excitement that’s required for long-term team success, they pay attention to and recognize employee successes.

  Real leaders do not allow their egos to get in the way of the task at hand.
