The Leader in You (1993) reveals how tapping into your enthusiasm and creativity can help you connect more effectively and work more productively.

Leadership has an important role at the top – but it’s just as important at any level of this game called life. Want to energize your colleagues or keep things happy at home? Become a better leader. In fact, embodying leadership qualities will improve your experience immensely on all fronts.
