Leadership Is a Marathon: A Leadership Fable

Every great leader faces a major crisis at least once in their lifetime. What will you do when that moment comes?

You should not be caught unawares. You can begin preparing for that, and for other defining moments in your life, now. Draw from the lessons in this book and develop yourself.

Growing as a leader does not happen overnight. Rather, like a marathon, it is an endurance race for which you prepare, run and continue to grow through as you apply what you learn along the way. Many start the contest, some fall off by the wayside, and those who complete the race have varying levels of success. Whatever the case, there are lessons in every step you take.

Joyce Kaduki has taken out leadership concepts and insights from her own leadership marathon, combined these with observations from the world of business, and weaved them into an easy to read and engaging story. She has painted a vivid picture of a true process and the persistence and determination it takes for one to reach the finish line. Included in the narrative is the role that mentors and coaches play in one's growth.
