To find out what they actually mean and, more important, how to implement them in your organization, read Bill and Wendi's little gem of a book. You will come back to these basic ideas again and again.

Leadership is an elusive topic and most authors approach it with elaborate models and academic prose. Bill and Wendi's insightful and actionable approach make this book an indispensable addition to your business library. But Executive Smarts is more likely to reside in your desk drawer than on the shelf. Kudos to Bill and Wendi!
