Does your organization make the most of its talented, dedicated leaders? If they aren't being used to inspire, mentor, coach, and train others, then it's time to help them—and your organization—reach their full potential.

No matter how large or small your organization may be, you can tailor the leaders-as-teachers approach to your situation. Use this book as a whole or in parts as you need them. It provides all the support materials—detailed plans, exercises, worksheets, sample training agendas—you'll need to establish your own leaders-as-teachers program.
