Unleashing Your Full Power

This book boldly acknowledges that corporate leadership teams not only do not work but are not necessary. Instead, these senior leaders are much better served, by becoming partners in leadership.
Partners hold each other as equals with skin in the game, having as much to win or lose as the other(s). This shift in thinking will be a game changer for corporate cultures.
