leadership is overcoming the natural: 52 maxims to move beyond instinct

LEADERSHIP IS RISING ABOVE YOUR NATURAL INSTINCTS

Leadership Is Overcoming the Natural is an attempt to see into the depths of the role of the leader, which is a fundamental and ancient element of our humanity. Authors Joe Judge and Michael D. Merrill, MD, outline the process of continually becoming your better self. In their view, becoming a leader is a decision, and not necessarily the fulfillment of a natural inclination or a promotion. The hardest part about that decision is that it will change your life, and there are things, and maybe even people, that you will need to leave behind. This must-read work distills their combined decades of wisdom and experience into 52 powerful maxims for any leader--or aspiring leader--to embrace.
