Recenzii

You can feel the passion, warmth, integrity, story-telling, and clarity. Dr. Ball masterfully brings you into the conversation. Like all planes, this book takes off against the wind and brings the many facets of leadership into vivid perspective. The sequel is as great as the first.
Against the Wind needs to be in every leader's hands! Dr. Ball gives us honest insight into the challenges of leading our people but offers brilliant perspectives and real solutions for how to do the job well, without sacrificing our mental health. I love that she does real talk, but also gives us wise and practical advice on how to take control of this very demanding job.
Dr. Ball captures the heart of the trials and tribulations of leadership and, more importantly, an approach to success in all areas as a leader. The lens of flight is an outstanding parallel to leading at a high level. Against the Wind will help you identify your strengths as a leader while also ensuring that you reduce the blind spots throughout your leadership journey.
