Everyone says a great leader needs EQ, Emotional Intelligence, soft skills, blah, blah, blah. What does that even mean? Where do you start? Where's the line for that on the P&L?

In this succinct, no-nonsense approach, Anne Taylor shares:
All done in an easy to read, logical, organized manner for people who prefer facts and don't consider themselves natural 'people people.'
In a direct yet professional manner, Anne combines the results-oriented focus from her extensive business background in Fortune 100 corporations with her passion for personal awareness and conscious choice to help you get better results through your people, fast.
