 THE SECRET: WHAT GREAT LEADERS KNOW AND
DO
“You don’t have to be older to be a great leader. The
secret shows how to lay the foundation for powerful
servant leadership early in your career to maximize
your impact.” (p. 20)
“One of the things great leaders do is establish,
articulate, model, and enforce core values.” (p. 34)

This book gave me a different perspective to

leadership and the way a leader can be anyone and
not just those with more experience than others.
