"Robert Edmonson's book shows how leaders can develop themselves and others, with both solid thinking and lots of tips and ideas. I've found wise counsel, practical advice and encouragement here, and would recommend it to any leader who wants to sharpen their performance across the full spectrum of leadership competencies."

Another great read from Robert Edmonson. A valuable addition to your management toolbox. Like Robert’s first book, “Multiple Leadership Intelligence” has encapsulated chapters that are topical and can stand alone, making it as much a reference guide as it is a management improvement book. The book takes us through many of the key challenges that all leaders face (business and otherwise). It addresses critical challenges and provides easy to understand solution paths. I recommend the book for leaders at all levels of the organization.

"I found this book to be a very practical and a highly useful guide of solutions to strengthen interpersonal communications, build relationships and improve overall performance. The solutions are I can guarantee that anyone reading it will get some insights that will help them manage their boss or a particular person or look at a situation at work considering many different views and perspectives. I have also been fortunate to experience Robert's insights by working closely with him and he has had a significant impact on my life."

“Before joining the C-suite or the like you are expected to have all the answers in your field of expertise. To some extent the higher your IQ the more likely you are to be promoted to that long awaited management position.
Once you are there, in the C-suite, you are expected to have all the answers. What matters then is how talented you are at recruiting the right people for the right position, at building trustworthy relationship with them, at motivating them, at engaging them behind new initiatives…In short it is how talented you are at leveraging your EQ in getting people to achieve their best for the greater good of the organization. It is so tough!
This book offers comprehensive approaches to recruiting the right staff, motivating, engaging and leveraging their strengths. It is short on theories and long on solutions to help us face those leadership challenges so we can “get others to do what we want them to do because they want to do it”. Once again Robert delivers straightforward solutions that can be readily applied to day-to-day leadership challenges. It is a must read, on the go, whenever you need it.”
