"You'll want a copy of Compass! The authors have done a brilliant job of combining a self-help' book for leaders with a guide for professionals who are in the business of developing leaders. As a leader, the book is like having your own personal coach with its wealth of insights, self-reflective questions and useful online tools. As an Industrial/Organizational psychologist, I appreciate the years of research that underpin the ideas and the potential to apply the many resources for executive leadership programs I develop and deliver."
