The MAP: Your Path to Effectiveness in Leadership, Life, and Legacy
Great leadership isn’t about winning, pleasing people, or holding titles. It’s about making a unique contribution to your family, friends, community, organization, country, or the world. It requires wisdom, courage, and effort; it’s not an automatic result of aging. Based on decades of research on adult development, The MAP explains how we can take control of our growth and accelerate progress in leadership, life, and legacy.
Kuhnert is creating a chatbot to accompany the book with the idea of rereleasing the book with the coaching chatbot to personalize the content for readers.
