Leadership is about emotions, it is about trust, it is about being authentic. John Cantwell knows this from his almost forty years of leading men and women in peace and war, through successes and in tough times as he rose through the ranks from private to general in the Australian Army.
Filled with specific guidance and tips for leaders, Leadership in Action takes the reader on a journey through the essential skills that great leaders use to build loyalty, teamwork, decisiveness and dozens of other vital outcomes.
Written in Cantwell's engaging style, Leadership in Action reveals a framework of highly effective leadership techniques that work in any situation.
