The Leadership Crash Course is a hard-hitting day-to-day guide to help executives and managers gain insight into their own leadership, then develop and hone the right skills to become powerful leaders.

It moves things forward, it inspires action, it changes the world, it maximises the likelihood of growth, attainment and success.
