This leadership model is practical, simple, understandable and, most importantly, it works at all levels.' John Rishton, CEO, Rolls Royce 'Amidst the clutter of books on leadership, this book stands out. It helps make sense of a whole range of leadership theories and integrates it all into the authors' own compelling view of what makes leaders effective. I've found their framework very helpful in my own work.' Larry Benjamin, Capwell Partners, Chicago, IL 'Wonderful stuff . A really important and worthwhile book.'
