Excerpt from Finding Your Leadership Style:
Whatever your past experience, whatever your relative success or failure as a leader, you can become a self-assured, highly-effective leader of others. And it doesn’t require that you become someone else or “play a role” to do it either, because there is no perfect leadership style.
