Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
A Coach's Guide to Developing Exemplary Leaders
James M. Kouzes · 2017
72/100
👍 Worth It
If you already know the Kouzes and Posner Five Practices framework, this is the practical playbook for coaching people through it, backed by a genuinely huge research base. It's built specifically for coaches and HR pros working with the LPI assessment, so it's narrower than a general leadership read. Solid and research-backed, just know who it's really for.
