It was enlightening

Leadership Essentials allows you to go deeper into the fundamentals of leadership and get to know yourself much better. You discover your personal leadership style, your strengths, and your areas for improvement. It was enlightening to work on the different types of power that exist and learn how to use them to negotiate better. I highly recommend this program.
