The Leadership Experience - Tapa blanda

"I think the writing is superior. My students often comment that they read EVERY page. It's not unusual to hear from students that this is textbook they want to keep & use on the job. The self-assessments are excellent. And the powerpoints are efficient & focus on the key points of each chapter." "The text was easy for my students to read, easy to understand, and well laid out in terms of flow."
