About Leading Change

From the publisher's feed

Leading and navigating change across a business can be overwhelming. So many leaders are handed a project by their Board or CEO, and suddenly they are expected to create the vision, inspire their team, navigate roadblocks and make some really hard decisions. It can feel like you’re swimming in the ocean at night, not knowing which way to go. So how is a leader supposed to know how to drive change?
