The book's lucid explanations, vivid examples, and practical tips are essential reading for CEOs, managers, change agents, marketers, salespersons, brand managers, politicians, teachers, parentsâanyone who is setting out to the change the world. "Leaders don't just execute strategy, they must inspire others to follow...
