It offers help to executives in small and medium-sized enterprises to understand the STAR leadership behaviours that distinguish STAR leaders from average performers. The book presents a simple, real-life-based model that clearly articulates leadership — in terms of vision, team-building, selling, managing and innovation — around the goal of stellar growth. The book describes best-practice approaches using real-life examples i.e. ‘common sense’ observations of ‘what works’ in real-life as opposed to academic rigour and demonstrates how one can measure one’s own competence across a range of 120 critical behaviours.
