In today's business world, we find ourselves in a conundrum: While there have never been so many books, blogs, speakers, and seminars on leadership, there remain relatively few truly great leaders. And companies are having difficulty finding and grooming the next generation to handle the demand of leading others in the fiercely competitive atmosphere and lightening fast pace of change that defines our era.

John Mattone has found a solution to this paradox through an approach that cuts right to the core of what holds leaders and aspiring leaders back from greatness. It's what has made him the world's top executive coach and drawn Fortune 500 CEOs--from the late Steve Jobs to PepsiCo's Roger Enrico--to seek his counsel. Fortunately, Mattone's secrets are no longer being shared exclusively in boardrooms and executive suites, but are now available to anyone who wants to unlock their leadership potential in his newest book, The Intelligent Leader.
