Courage to Lead

Plot

Is there a difference between management and leadership? Leadership consultant Daphna Horowitz teaches that there is. Leaders need to possess certain qualities, and Horowitz identified those qualities during her ascent to the summit of Africa's tallest mountain, Kilimanjaro. The summit is the metaphor for the vision every leader needs to hold, and the mountain is a metaphor for the largest obstacles standing in a leader's way. Using the art of storytelling, Horowitz presents a practical guide to leadership in an African context. She helps leaders identify their personal mission (the climb, for example) and relate that to their work performance and leadership skills. A how-to of leadership development, this book will inspire, challenge, and transform anyone who needs to take charge of their leadership and future, extending beyond the boardroom and into every area of life.
