Synopsis

· Why is a new paradigm for leadership needed for our time? · How can you create a culture that will attract and retain exceptional people? · What are the 8 keys to creating a sustainable competitive advantage in your company? The new paradigm for leadership is not about tactics to get people to do what you want them to do; it is about a strategy where people align themselves to leadership virtues – The Great 8 – that will transform and launch people to fulfill their greatest potential. But for every virtue, there is a vice – and all it takes is one vice to bring down a leader (or even an entire team). As a leader, you have at your disposal all of eight virtues that provide a strong defense against the vices. If the eight virtues are consistently applied to your company, you can achieve sustainable performance for all stake holders, and The Great 8 shows you how to do it. David Harper is an entrepreneur and business leader who has personally battled with how to put these virtues into action. This book provides a roadmap for you to win your ongoing battle to become a leader of greater influence and impact.
