When musicians strike the right chord, they perform in a way that profoundly moves their audience, energizes fellow band members, and uplifts millions of fans around the world. But you don't have to be a musician to strike the right chord at work. Great leaders consistently strike the right chord, too. They understand that exceptional performance results from a culture where people want to give their best every day. They recognize that developing and sustaining such a culture demands constant attention and commitment. And they believe nothing they do is more important. In this uniquely entertaining and unconventional book - composed as a series of brief, candid letters to an emerging leader - readers will discover a wealth of clear-sighted advice that guides, challenges, and enlightens. With warmth, wit, and wisdom, Strike the Right Chord examines the essential skills emerging leaders need to strengthen - from emotional intelligence and effective communication to managing teams and resolving conflict.
