Recommendation

Leaders can learn to harness “inspirational leadership” to motivate their employees and influence organizational challenges. McKinsey & Company executive Claudio Feser equips you to carry out inspirational leadership by building your knowledge and skills from the ground up. He covers how people learn, how leadership works and what using inspirational influence can do for your organization.
