With so much structural change happening within the world economy, people recognize that we need effective leaders more than ever before. Developing commitment within organizations and in a world of "free agents" and "volunteer" talent is not an easy assignment...and will require effective leadership skills.

From 1975 to 1995, according to the Library of Congress, books on leadership appeared at a rate of about 24 a year. In the past 15-20 years, that output has more than doubled. That's a new book on leadership every week, or enough over the decade to wallpaper every classroom at Harvard Business School.

This book is based on leadership insights previously published on The Leadership Blog at www.CoachingTip.com where you will find free leadership blog postings that can be read or downloaded to your computer, tablet, eReader or smartphone.
