'The Secret' answers the question, "What do I need to do to be a great leader?". Books on leadership abound, and most of them emphasise one or another of the ideas explored here. But only 'The Secret' pulls all of the five essential concepts together into a coherent plan for achieving leadership success.
The five ways in which leaders can succeed through service are seeing and shaping the future; engaging and developing others; reinventing continuously; valuing results and relationships; and embodying the values. Each strategy is explains in detail, with exercises and tips for integrating them into the leadership matrix. The authors show their ideas at work by following the example of a struggling leader who enrols in a mentoring program at her company. It traces her progress in understanding and applying these concepts, and her subsequent transformation into a respected and effective leader.
