The Tortoise Usually Wins: Biblical Reflections on Quiet Leadership for Reluctant Leaders: Biblical Reflections on Quiet Leadership for Reluctant Leaders
ISBN: 9781842277874 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Tortoise Usually Wins is a delightful exploration of the theory of quiet leadership.

Exploding the myth that the good is the enemy of the best, it argues that the reverse is more often true, with images of unattainable perfection crippling competent people from getting on with the task of doing genuinely good things. The...
