The prinicpal lessons in this book rely on my own experiences leading 50,000 associates for a major retail enterprise and ensuring the success of hundreds of new and experienced leaders at every level. This book gives new leaders a resource to accelerate and ensure their own success, and create tremendous success for their teams.
