The Focused Executive
Art Direction: Jason Cupitt

One of the strongest and most positive driving forces within people is ambition, the desire to grow in capability and to achieve satisfaction by achievement. This very relevant and topical book explores many aspects of developing leadership and management skills, which are the means by which individuals grow into being effective leaders.

Based on author Virginia Mansell’s years of experience in coaching and developing people, The Focused Executive is packed with practical insights for individuals to better understand themselves and others. It provides analytical guidance and valuable advice on effective ways to work with people, teamwork, presentation skills, influencing and building trust.
