This Is How You Do It

by David Meyer

Three noted business authors combine their career-long insights to offer clear, basic, comprehensive rules great leaders should follow.

A leading trio of business experts has figured out what leaders should do. Dave Ulrich, business professor at the University of Michigan and prolific HR author, founded The RBL consulting group with Norm Smallwood, co-author of multiple business books. With former Harvard Business Review editor and RBL principal Kate Sweetman, they sifted through overwhelming information about the elusive subject of leadership and actually made sense of it.

The authors boil down their research into five essential rules. They tell readers how to strategize, execute, involve their employees, develop a base of talented people and grow as leaders. With the vocabulary – even jargon – of business as their common language, this is a book by businesspeople for businesspeople.
