Self Help Leadership

How working parents can lead more purposeful lives, characterized by harmony, connection, and impact.

Imagine walking up to a stranger on the subway and asking them for their seat. What about asking a random person on the street if you could borrow their phone?

Du Bois provide a wide range of insights into the eternal practice and problems of leadership. Modern masters of leadership such as James MacGregor Burns are also found.
