MAKE YOUR LEADERSHIP EFFORTS STICK
Every day, thousands of people put great effort--and money--into
becoming more effective leaders, through seminars, personal
coaching, and employee development plans. These undertakings can do
wonders to help leaders of all stripes improve their effectiveness.
But not every leader finishes what he or she starts--and many
revert back to less effective habits, often without even realizing
it.
How can you ensure that you stick with all the positive changes
you have made? How do you make sure you don't slip back into your
old ways?
