Drawing on his experiences in the U. S. Marines, in the corporate world, as a coach, and as a small business owner, Greg Ballard now publishes his concise, yet definitive guide for new, junior, and middle level leaders. In addition to the realities, traits, and principles explained in the book, he also details the two overarching responsibilities of leadership and gives the three indicators of effective leadership. He also explains the relationship between responsibility, accountability, and authority. Additionally included are fourteen "Other Thoughts" which are of great value. The accumulated knowledge in this valuable book will greatly benefit not only individuals in positions of responsibility, but also those companies or organizations that have multiple levels of leadership. - from Amzon
