Summary

"In Leadership Brand. Ulrich and Smallwood explore the advantages of a branded approach to corporate leadership.

In other words, there is real value in building a leadership brand, and now the authors have created the first step-by-step guide for doing it." "Each chapter is packed with practical tools and assessments to help board members, senior executives, HR professionals, and others charged with building brands and leadership evaluate progress along the way, as a leadership brand is created and implemented."--BOOK JACKET.
