training necessary for developing leaders in today''s workplace. I
recommend this book for anyone who is implementing a leadership
development program within their organization. It could easily be

"What a gem of a book Karen Lawson has written! Drawing on
research by leadership gurus, Karen presents 45 competencies and
characteristics critical to leadership excellence. She mines each
of these facets for a solid definition and the significance of
each. Although many authors shy away from discussing leadership
qualities such as authenticity and empathy, Karen deals with them
directly. She presents activities that future leaders can use to
explore personal leadership qualities. This book is 24kt gold. If
you are a leadership development professional, this book is sure to
become your gold standard when searching for creative yet practical
ways to help develop others into outstanding leaders of the
future."—Elaine Biech, editor, The ASTD Leadership Handbook and
author, The Business of Consulting

personal and organizational success. If you are responsible for

your bookshelf—or maybe your desk—because you will use it
often!"—Kevin Eikenberry, author, Remarkable Leadership: Unleashing
Your Leadership Potential One Skill at a Time
