Breakthrough Leadership explores the relationship between breakthroughs and leadership, and provides key insights into the intricate connection between the two.

Successful organizations depend on great leadership. Your leadership success increasingly depends on your ability to adapt to changing times, your ability to evolve to embrace new dynamics, as well as your own ongoing personal transformation as a leader.
