The Exceptional Leader

No matter the level of your leadership ability, bestselling author and leadership expert Stan Toler helps develop the traits of young leaders while retooling the mindset and principles of seasoned leaders.

Few leaders think of themselves as natural leaders, and all of them tend to fall into one of three groups: those whose leadership is taken for granted, budding leaders who are relatively untested on the job, and untrained leaders who have found themselves suddenly thrust into a leadership position.

The Exceptional Leader calms the fears and boosts the confidence of all untrained leaders and serves as a refresher course for seasoned leaders. Written as a dialogue between a seasoned leader and a young businessman, the one-on-one conversation reveals proven, common-sense leadership principles and instruction on how to lead holistically, with heart and soul.
