Change is so rapid today that leaders must do much more than stay the course to be successful. If they aren’t nimble and ready to adapt, they won’t survive. The key is to learn how to “leadershift.” In Leadershift, John C. Maxwell helps leaders gain the ability and willingness to make leadership changes that will positively enhance people’s personal growth and their organization’s effectiveness.
