Impacting Employees for Life

Description:

The leader is responsible for workplace morale. A good leader positively impacts employees' happiness and productivity daily. But a truly great leader's impact lasts a lifetime and creates a legacy that endures long after they retire. More than 30 years ago, as a young naval flight officer, Mark C. Fava worked as an aide to a Navy Admiral. In his first book, "Lessons from the Admiral, Naval Wisdom and Sea Stories for Leaders," Mark reveals how working for and learning from a great leader can have a lifelong impact on employees, and how those employees can themselves become great leaders.
