5.0 out of 5 stars This Book will point you in the right direction !, February 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Leadership from Within (Paperback)

Leadership is a characteristic which is a key ingredient to obtaining success in today's society. Unfortunately, it is not something we are all born with. This book, however, will point you in the right direction to becoming a leader. It is very well written, clear, and easy to understand. Leadership From Within by Peter Urs Bender is definitely something I recommend to everyone!
