In DO/LEAD, bestselling author and founder of Predictable Success Les McKeown demolishes the myths that have paralyzed leadership in our modern era, then provides new tools for the job.
Les McKeown, Founder and CEO, Predictable Success and author of "Do Lead: Share your vision. Inspire others. Achieve the impossible"
