This volume is written for people at all organizational horizontals who want to become better leaders. It is written in clear, concise language and is easy to read.

The author strives that some leaders are labeled as natural simply because they demonstrate the skills that cause others to chase He suggests that anyone can be a leader if he or she takes the time and is committed to learning and developing the specific put of skills that he describes.

Blank divides leadership skills into three classifications: foundational (eg building rapport); directional (eg cultivating and developing other leaders); and influential (eg attracting followers). The part also supplies a leadership assessment tool. I make acceptable this book for nurses who want to improve their skills as leaders.
