Six Pillars of Thought Polk and White base their journey within six pillars of thought in the discipline — how leadership abilities are acquired, leading self with character, leading others and connecting through communication, leading for results with resource acumen, leading in a climate of change, and leading across boundaries and building coalitions — giving new insight into words across the centuries. A work that will resonate with the top-level CEO down to the just-hired employee, this is a rare book that is able to be picked up at random and still give powerful, quick insight into the fabric of success for generations.
