It provides tools you can use to combine profit with purpose, margin with mission, value with values. Drawing on insightful interviews with seventy-five forward-thinking leaders and his own extensive experiences as an entrepreneurial leader, Mark Albion details five critical leadership practices: Turn your values into value Walk toward the talk Communicate with care Facilitate personal growth Collaborate for greater impact True to Yourself shows how successful businesspeople have put these practices into action, and it provides hands-on exercises to help you integrate them into your own business.
