51 Keys to Becoming a Leader People Want to Follow

What do you think of when you hear the word “leader”? You probably imagine a charismatic person with strong leadership skills, excellent presentation and, simply put, the kind of person people are drawn to. There are probably people who doubt that they can ever become like that. The author, Matsuo Iwata, asserts that anybody who works hard enough can become a leader.
Mr. Iwata, who despite his magnificent credentials refers to himself as “just a normal guy,” shares 51 points on how to become the type of person that people want to look up to.
This book is recommended for those in management, new leaders, people who are going to be in charge of others for the first time, and other people as well.
