by Dennis E. Smith (Author)

About the Book

The Velvet Glove of Leadership in the 2020s: Leadership Principles That Don't Change in a Changing World is a handy reference for many of the key "arts" and "sciences" of leadership. The pace of change may be faster than ever and the challenges of a post pandemic world difficult to navigate, but there are principals that remain relevant to good leadership. Topics like communication and listening may be even more important in a world of Zoom meetings with fewer face to face opportunities to build relationships with senior leaders and subordinates alike. Even those with a long history in leadership will find useful information about the situations emerging leaders encounter on a daily basis.
