The model leader

Hitt identifies twenty-five competencies that contribute to leadership and provides an ideal model for each competency. By comparing themselves to the ideal, readers can evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses as leaders. Each competency is brought to life through quotes from leading thinkers on leadership and anecdotes that make it easy for the readers to relate the competency to their professional life. Once the characteristics of a model leader have been outlined, The Model Leader presents a unique Leadership Agenda, which gives readers the opportunity to develop a personal action plan to improve their leadership skills. The Model Leader represents the first step in a lifelong journey to improve leadership skills. It is a book whose impact will continue to be felt long after it is put down.
