When the subject is leadership, business podcasts and their expert guests often focus on theory, the textbook learnings of what exemplary business leadership is supposed to entail. I can offer your listeners a much more entertaining and informative segment based on real life examples of exemplary leadership in action. In my book "21 Lessons Learned in Leadership", I gathered 21 individual leadership in action stories, true to life experiences offered by professional people in real business situations. These stories are relevant, practical, and easily identifiable for anyone wishing to improve their business skill set. These stories and their outcomes are the foundation of exemplary leadership in action. Your listeners will appreciate the recognition of situations that will have them thinking of their own challenges, and will also have them tuning in for more useful answers. Leadership in Action is Leadership Defined!
