An Enlightening Story about Leadership Traits 21st Century Employees Admire and Respect
Just released (February 2008)! 

What are the four leadership traits 21^st-Century-Millenial-Generation-Y employees secretly use to evaluate management? (Hint: It’s not even close to your father’s brand of leadership.)

Who is the leadership role model for this new generation of employees? (Hint: It’s probably not who you think it is.)

How can you apply the four 21^st Century traits of leadership to earn trust and respect? (Hint: It’ll make you stand out from the crowd!)

You’ll discover the answers as you eavesdrop on seven young managers at Omnipotent Digital Corporation while they discuss their bosses—who have doomed the Ubiquitous Project to failure. The employees identify the four leadership traits they secretly use to evaluate their bosses. They also reveal their generation’s leadership role model. Learn from them how to be the kind of leader who is trusted and respected!
