\"Leading<\/a>Leading From the Edge<\/b><\/h3>\n

co-authored by Karen Conway \u201979<\/b><\/p>\n

Global executives share strategies and discuss how they used their strengths for global success in this new look at globalization.

The book looks at 10 essential traits successful global leaders embody, noting that each leader doesn\u2019t possess all 10, but they all embody a healthy mix.<\/p>\n

by A. Richard Conroy \u201954<\/b><\/p>\n
