What Leaders Say and Do: How to Inspire Your Tribe

From the author: “This book is written to enlighten new leaders and leaders-in-transition on key elements to help them be great leaders who inspire their current team, and ultimately the tribe they gather over time. I also hope this book serves as a reminder that, as leaders, you must continually work on improving yourself.”
