Come to my March 15 seminar, "How to Lead People So They Want You to Lead Them Again," which will be held at NYU-Stern, conveniently located in Greenwich Village. Past attendees of this seminar rated it very highly. Here is the text from the Columbia Business School Alumni Club announcement: Effective leaders motivate people from the inside---so people they lead contribute fully and thank the leader for giving them the opportunity to work with them.
