Leadership Is an Inside Job

By: Jim T. Priest, J.D.

His observations and first-hand experiences have led Priest to believe a leader’s internal character is the key for both success and failure of the individual and the organizations they lead. In this book he shares twenty-one leadership principles and in practical down to earth advice, encourages everyone to see themselves as a leader whether they have a title or not, and to develop the character it takes to lead effectively.
