Traits Needed for Great Leadership
Let’s face it. Great leaders can go bad. This happens when someone in a leadership position is only concerned about themselves and their agenda and acts arrogantly rather than with humility. Authors Bill Treasurer, a corporate America veteran, and John Havlik, a Navy SEAL, combine their different perspectives and experience with leadership to discuss the qualities of strong, effective leaders as well as bad leaders.
