Great leadership is an art.

It is the art of achieving progress through the involvement and actions of others. This is why great leaders are strong in both leading people and leading for results.

In this book, global leadership development expert Steven Howard uses three icons from pop culture -- Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs from the TV show NCIS, Master Yoda of Star Wars fame, and swashbuckling Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series -- to demonstrate his 8 Keys to Great Leadership:
