As the author explains, the e-book and its strategies can be utilized by both seasoned leaders and those who are handling responsibility for the first time.
“Whether you’re a young manager fresh out of college, a seasoned professional recently elevated to a leadership role, or an experienced executive looking to sharpen your team-building skills, this book is precisely what you need to elevate your team or organization to the next level,” says Nicholas Downing, President of the Colorado-based CGI Leadership Network, a professional community of character-driven leaders and crisis-proven consultants.
Continuing, “I’ve made many mistakes in my quest to become a better leader and I now want to share them with others. I believe, with absolute certainty, that the crisis-proven principles this e-book teaches actually work in the military, public, and private sectors. Every time I deviate from their application, I falter as a leader.”
