Who is best equipped to meet the challenges of an unstable and uncertain world? Who better than a commando? When you're trained as a commando you're trained to expect the unexpected. The unexpected is what business leaders have to deal with every day, as strategic shocks - particularly financial crises - continue to reverberate. Effective Leadership is here applied directly to the business world, drawing on Damian McKinney's long experience of working with many of the world's leading companies, as well as serving at a senior level in the Royal Marines.
This book provides the compelling evidence that the commando way works in business, and it gives the corporate leaders of today and tomorrow insight, guidance and the prospect of a higher performing business. Drawing lessons from the military and corporate worlds, Damian McKinney is on a mission that will convince you and transform your business.
