To Get the What--You Need the Why and How

Great Leadership By Dan

Guest post from regular contributor S. Chris Edmonds : Why does your leadership team exist? To get results. Increase profits. Deliver expected performance. Right?

While training and communication are essential tools for influencing any change at work, they are not the complete solution for managing the “people side” of projects.

I had not seen it yet so I read through it. The tone of the note was a little perplexing. The last paragraph in particular grabbed my attention. It was 1997 and I remember this line word for word.
