ABOUT THE BOOK

In this book, Maxwell Osei provides the four principal stages which will help every individual who aspires to occupy higher position in Life and also wants to become a leader of good reputation to be able to identify their strength so as to become effective and productive in their sphere of contact. Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint. By Lewis H. Lapham, from these perspective this book will help aspiring leaders to identify the demands and sacrifice they have to go through in realizing their true potentials in leadership.
