On a four-stage journey through the leadership continuum, you'll learn how to - Recognize and manage the self-interested mentality of the "Me" Stage in yourself and others - Share credit in the "Us" Stage when working with or leading a team - Facilitate the output of others and minimize the need for acknowledgment in the "Letting Go" Stage - Focus exclusively on others and share your expertise without any desire for personal recognition in the "Giving Away the Gold" Stage With a wise and discerning approach to workplace relations, the author demonstrates how professional altruism can guide the trajectory of your career, helping you find greater satisfaction and success as a truly exceptional leader.
