Follow What Leader?

About the Book

Oh no! Not another book on Leadership. Even Jim Weaver admits that leadership books abound. Each employs it own unique approach to introduce, explain, and evaluate the techniques of leadership, and to suggest strategies which will work, and to "pooh-pooh" those that won"t.

In some respects Follow What Leader? may be no different than the others. But Jim Weaver's writing style makes this book entertaining, easy-to-read, and valuable to any manager who is eager to apply some logical common sense methods to leading an organization.

Filled with interesting stories and examples, this primer will prove to be an excellent source of "hip-pocket" assistance for the manager who leads others, and seeks to be better than the average bear at what they do.
