The Torch Leadership in the Age of Complexity

Effective leaders are lifelong students. Effective leaders learn by experience, watching, modeling, and replicating best practices. They take on new information and construct new knowledge on top of their previous knowledge base. "The Torch" series is an accumulation of knowledge, theories, and insights gained from 40 years of studying leadership and from "hands on" experience gained by one who actually has sat in the Captain's chair.
