Using a unique personality profiler, readers are able to determine their strengths and weaknesses and then apply this understanding to develop smart habits.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreat leaders have key traits that influence their success.  People who are Extroverts can serve as effective advocates for ideas. Those who are low in Agreeableness are willing to tell people things that they do not want to hear, and so facilitate open and honest lines of communication.  People high in Conscientiousness get things done.  They ensure that a project once started is completed.. Those who are high in Openness and are able to acquire and use knowledge through reasoning, intuition, or perception tend to be good change-makers. Their breadth of knowledge allows them to communicate ideas from a wide variety of sources to innovate and solve problems. And leaders possessed of emotional stability have the clear-mindedness and confidence to navigate through any storm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndividuals who demonstrate these traits and who have developed habits that serve them well, are extraordinary. Yet the potential for greatness is within everyone. \u003ci\u003eHabits of Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e will show anyone how to develop and use these exceptional gifts.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116569411824,"sku":"9781101619957","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101619957_p0.jpg?v=1763689296","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101619957","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
