In this book, you\'ll learn how to: - Stop building failure into your mentoring of employees - Set goals using the SMART approach: specific, motivational, attainable, relevant and trackable - Help People move through all four stages of mastery - Create a culture that shares knowledge and encourages nonstop learning I\'m thrilled that the first book in our Leading at a Higher Level series is with Garry Ridge, president of WD-40 Company.
