About the Book

Executives and managers work hard to be effective. Then what? Some find that they want something more: to work with greater meaning; to be more fulfilled; happier with their work; or simply a better leader.

David Peck, president of Leadership Unleashed, an executive coaching and management consulting firm, presents over 100 powerful one-paragraph leadership tools in "Beyond Effective: Practices in Self-aware Leadership" for those wanting to take the next step as executives and leaders.

The bottom line of this book: Change your beliefs for the better, and better results must follow.

• New ways to take your core leadership abilities to the next level
• Powerful techniques for leading your people
