Learning to lead is such a rewarding journey! It's amazing to see how training courses like ISO 26000 Social Responsibility can help shape better, more socially conscious leaders. These courses give you the tools to lead with purpose and make a positive impact—highly recommend exploring them! https://riskprofs.com/document-templa...

Not much useful info for me personally (I'm warehouse management - some of it can be adapted though, so there are a few nuggets I can use), but I'm sure it's helpful if you have an office job.

I like the set-up & it was easy to read & understand.

Rather boring. Not too much interesting. I didn’t feel like I learned much. I thought it was interesting how they stressed teaching employees.

Good book as a refresher, some ideas with corporate work was not as tangible for myself as of now but still was good to read about it.
