Summary

One of the most pivotal challenges of business leadership is not to find active, intelligent team members, but to keep them dedicated to the cause. Finders Keepers explores professional leadership in business. Identifying seven lessons of leadership, presented as a series of intriguing and thought-provoking true stories, Darren Stevenson examines his and other's leadership experiences, looking at leadership as an attitude rather than a position. The stories in this short, easy to read book will captivate you from the beginning, allowing every new or skilled leader to learn and grow through experience rather than theory. A one time teacher and head of school, and now the sole founder and managing director of a medium sized national business with more than 500 staff, Darren's experience leading both children and adults has given him a unique insight into leadership, and specifically how the actions and attitudes of business leaders can ensure their teams continue to choose to remain dedicated to the cause, year after year. If you're already in the position of leader, or you have the attitude of a leader, Finders Keepers is the smart little leadership book for you.
