Review: Unlocking the Natural-Born Leader’s Abilities by Salar A. Khan, MD, MBA

Unlocking the Natural-Born Leader’s Abilities by Salar A. Khan, MD, MBA

A successful example of what he wishes to convey, award-winning author Salar Khan uses his own life as an illustration of what constitutes leadership in Unlocking the Natural-Born Leader’s Abilities: An Autobiographical Exposé.

Leaderology by Jeff Rawlins

Leaderology by Jeff RawlinsAuthor and business consultant Jeff Rawlins explores how leadership and teamwork go together in Leaderology: How to Crush Mediocrity For Once and For All.

The language Rawlins uses emphasizes subtle, spiritual aspects of leadership, with terms like self-discovery and inner development.

Rawlins proposes five strong […]
