The Intangibles of Leadership: The 10 Qualities of Superior Executive Performance

Praise for The Intangibles of Leadership
"... A must read for all aspiring and existing leaders, whatever your field."
—Neville Roberts, Chief Information Officer, Best Buy
"...Davis has really nailed down in a practical yet very thoughtful way to really distinguish great leaders, how to identify them and, even more importantly, how to develop more of them. This book brings a tangible dimension to the intangibles of Leadership."
—Stephane Charbonnier, Global Head of Talent Management, Towers Watson
"This is the most thoughtful book on leadership I have read. Instead of handing out the usual one–size–fits–all approach, Davis realizes that different situations require different kinds of leaders. Insightful, practical and readable, it is the best book on leadership available."
—Ford Harding, President, Harding & Company, and author of Creating Rainmakers
"... I highly recommend this book for any leader who is searching for a leadership compass to guide behaviors and adopt the practices of extraordinary leaders."
—Judd T. Nystrom, Senior Vice President, Finance, Advance Auto Parts
"... Davis has identified 10 intangible qualities, some of which are commonly overlooked or mistaken for other attributes, but are central to understanding why certain leaders are able to stand apart and above the rest.  His nuanced approach to a familiar subject is both timely and welcome."
—JP Donlon, Editor–in–Chief, Chief Executive Magazine
"Unique, insightful and practical...a refreshing take on the true essence of leadership in a contemporary time."
—Anne Duncan, VP Human Resources, JTI–Macdonald Corp
"...Davis offers a career of experience in what really works in developing others – take advantage of it!"
—Andy Billings, Vice President, Profitable Creativity, Electronic Arts
