Rediscovering the Principles of Outstanding Leadership

The President of the United States, the Chief Executive of a Fortune 500 company, and the mother of an eight year old Cub Scout are each in a position of leadership. But how do you develop those special qualities that bring success as a leader?

The Key contains the revealing and inspiring results of his research in two sections: The 12 universal Principles of Great Service Companies and The 25 Universal Qualities of Great Leaders.
