“Where was this book as I cruised up the corporate ladder at P&G, PepsiCo and Paramount? First-Time Leader is the quintessential book for new leaders - written with clarity, conviction and common sense, foundational to helping new leaders and their teams deliver better results faster. We found George and Gillian’s approach with B.R.A.V.E. and the three secrets of happiness as the new backbone for leadership and voted this book in our top 10 MUST read for this year! Make this book your North Star.”
