This review is from: Global Executive Leadership Inventory (GELI), Participant Workbook (J-B US non-Franchise Leadership) (Paperback)

the content of this book undoubtedly makes it an excellent (very comprehensive and meaningful) participant workbook. It is NOT, however, a facilitator Guide (as the marketing material indicates). It is one piece of a much broader development process, and should be recognized as such. That said, the self-development ideas are excellent and extremely useful. (It would have garnered a higher rating had the expectations been more accurately established.)
