One of the country’s most respected business speakers shares his secrets for success

Top executive training instructor and former IBM marketing executive Keith Harrell is a dynamic performance coach who specializes in changing behaviors through positive attitude. He is one of the most successful business speakers in the country and has achieved the prestigious Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE), conferred by the National Speakers Association.

In The Attitude of Leadership, Harrell features top executives from a cross-section of industries to identify twenty-one strategies for success. These essential strategies together form the "Attitude of Leadership," and learning that attitude is a skill that can be acquired at any age and at any level. Each self-contained chapter features the best practices of an executive who reflects on what has contributed to his or her ability to motivate employees to do their best in any instance. At the end of each chapter, Harrell–America’s Attitude Expert–shares specific suggestions on how readers can follow up and put these insights into action so they can positively influence themselves and others to aspire to excellence, on and off the job. The Attitude of Leadership encapsulates everything managers need to know to lift both themselves and their employees to the very heights of success.
