It seems everyone is looking for good leaders--honest, competent individuals who inspire courage, confidence, integrity, determination and a commitment to excellence. However, these values appear to be lacking in many of today's leaders, resulting in a leadership crisis in our country.

The author’s premise is that leadership is value based and not simply a set of skills that can be taught in the traditional sense, as many books and seminars would have you believe. The good news is that leadership can be learned through a deep examination of the concepts, values, and principles of leaders. These timeless concepts of leadership can help you to be a leader in business,
in a family, and elsewhere.

Lloyd Edwards, a retired police lieutenant from Huntington Beach, California, who also presented leadership classes for twenty years, provides deep insights on leadership utilizing a unique adult learning style that creates a dialogue with the reader.

This book explores the web-like interconnections of leadership values, traits, and skills in an enjoyable, exciting and understandable format.  It illustrates that great leaders combine sound values with the ability to delegate, teach, inspire, manage time, and communicate vision.  It is this combination of the art of leadership and the science of management that produces the quality leader who is capable of inspiring people and companies; communicating organizational ethics; and breaking through barriers that prevent others from achieving success.
