Abstract:
Without fanfare or fancy positions, valuable employees are quietly stepping up to leadership roles at every level of every company-the front-line worker who inspires the team to success, the field agent who solves a previously intractable problem, the service rep who thinks outside the box to build unshakeable customer loyalty. These are the people whose leadership creates long-term success for companies large and small. The Hidden Leader shows readers how to pinpoint talented but underutilized employees and cultivate them to reach their full potential.
