RTB: Recruit The Best!

The best employees want to work for a great leader. A leader who put people first. A leader who is ready to be vulnerable. So what makes great leaders tick?

Let’s find out.

In their book, Management Principles v. 1.0, Marson and his colleagues defined leadership as the act of influencing others to work toward a goal.
