Book Overview

"How can I develop an elite leadership team when there's hardly any time to get my real work done?"

This is a universal lament from business leaders in fast-paced organizations... until they apply the unique and time-efficient practices outlined in this book. Competent is Not an Option shows you how to adapt the talent development process used by championship sports teams to produce all-star leaders in your business. What if you could ...

-Compress a year's worth of leadership development activities into one month?

-Build leadership capabilities every day, even during phone calls, giving presentations, or in breaks between meetings?

-Ignite hidden leadership capacity to achieve goals you've given up on or never even contemplated?
