“There are thousands of leadership books, so why do we need yet another? Because we lead during a time like no other.” said author Dr. Jes DeShields. “9 Leader Touchstones has two objectives. The book shows leaders how to unleash the unique potential of their team members. It also gives them the blueprint to build a dynamic, enduring organization in the constantly evolving state of work. To accomplish both, leaders first must look to themselves.”
