Be a HERO. How To Bring Out Leadership In Everyone

Research shows that 88 percent of employees are not enthusiastic about their work. This is a huge waste of talent and energy. In this book, teacher and researcher Bas Kodden presents a step-by-step plan towards a more enthusiastic approach to work, all on the basis of practically applicable management theories, personal experience and meetings with highly-skilled (sports) legends.
This book helps you become a HELD: Highly Energetic Responsible Operator. A HELD - literally a HERO in Dutch - is enthusiastic, motivated and knows where his talents lie. A HELD has more fun at work, will get better performance and has an increased chance of success.
'Be a HERO' is written for anyone looking for new energy, passion and enthusiasm and managers who want to grow their organization on the basis of a positive flow.
'This book is one of the most inspiring books about how we can use devotion, knowledge and creativity to achieve exceptional performance.
