18 Holes for Leadership provides guidance through the two essential elements of leadership:
- Do you have what it takes? and,
- Do you know what to do with it?
18 Holes for Leadership is a business tale about a consultant named Sam and her client’s “problem leader,” Paul, an executive of a large company. Sam, not a golfer herself, surprisingly finds herself playing a round of golf with Paul. As Paul helps with her golf game, Sam uses the round of golf to coach Paul and to share the elements of world-class leadership. Soon the other s in the foursome join in the “fun” with Sam providing some “tests “and challenges to drive home the points.
18 Holes for Leadership provides the principles relevant to business leaders in all tiers (management, upper management, directors and executives) and company sizes (small, medium and large).
