LEADERSHIP GURU and WHARTON FACULTY MEMBER STEW FRIEDMAN JOINS SEPTEMBER 15th VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB
On September 15th, from 12-1 CT, we will discuss:
Total Leadership: Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life.
        
Total Leadership

We will be joined by the author, Stew Friedman, for what promises to be an enlightening and thought-provoking discussion.

In this book, Friedman presents his "four-way" win method that enables a leader to find mutual value at work, at home, in the community, and personally. Using exercises, stories, charts, and lists, the author describes Total Leadership as a program for becoming a leader who acts with authenticity by determining what is important, who acts with integrity by respecting all parts of his life, and who acts with creativity by experimenting to find new solutions.
 
Claiming leadership can and must be learned, the author offers step-by-step instructions for using his principles to produce stronger business results while having a richer life and creating opportunities for others.
