"The New Leadership Literacies" by Bob Johansen is a thought-provoking guide for leaders navigating the increasingly complex and uncertain times ahead. Filled with actionable advice and insightful perspectives, Johansen brings attention to the critical shift in leadership skills required to thrive in the 21st century.
