It involves trusting ones instincts, possessing a propensity to will or determine an outcome through words and action, and having a diminished sense of fear and risk and an insatiable appetite to be the best.There are varying views and philosophies regarding managing schools, colleges, and business turnarounds. Leadership is a dynamic process, and leader skill sets can vary dramatically. However, it takes a bold, decisive, confident, ice-in-the-veins leader to turnaround a rapidly failing organization-a leader who does not lead with his\/her feelings or fear the demise of their popularity.This book describes what more than 50 years of leading and managing change has taught me. This is the way I did it, and I have the successes and scars to prove it.Get out your highlighters!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68218727268640,"sku":"USED1681029650","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61RbFoUzW3L.jpg?v=1794299123","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/executive-courage-sometimes-you-have-to-walk-point-1681029650-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
