Utilising a wide range of examples of personal achievement from Rudolph Giuliani to successful Walgreen's clerk, Manjit Kaur, Buckingham, an independent consultant, author, and speaker, examines three aspects he considers fundamental to this achievement: "great" managing, "great" leading, and career success.

As well, the author explores "core insight" and its ramifications in decision making, using research from his own data and interviews. Designed for business professionals.
