Features: How can one be bold and fearless? How can one overcome anxiety and move with ease? Is it possible to reach the leadership height of Jack Welch? As a philosopher of the American corporate world and a spiritual mentor to many Silicon Valley executives, Peter Kastenbaum will prove to you that anyone can become an outstanding leader. True leadership originates from within and spiritually, not from external skills. Great leaders may not excel in interpersonal communication, but they are certainly ambitious, able to face immense setbacks, highly self-disciplined, able to endure betrayal, and demonstrate great empathy. In other words, great leaders must possess four key qualities: vision, pragmatism, morality, and courage—all driven by a "ambition" to pursue excellence. Of course, their ambition must be tested by efficiency and results, because successful leadership is always intertwined with the fate of the company! This book will help you cultivate yourself on both inner and spiritual levels, guiding you to achieve a state where personal success aligns with corporate triumph, inner fulfillment with outstanding performance, and wisdom with profit. It will also equip your mind with various leadership capabilities, enabling you to think and act like an outstanding leader, thereby multiplying your leadership effectiveness! After 10 years of creation and 10 years of revision, this book has become a classic in the field of leadership in the USA, earning high recognition from leaders of many Fortune 500 companies.
