Summary:

"The U.S. is divided and dealing with civil unrest. Now, more than ever, the world wants to know what inclusive, empathic leadership looks like. President Biden is widely respect as a man of integrity and authenticity, who has overcome great personal tragedy, and turned his own personal suffering into a source of compassion and leadership strength. Author Jeffrey Krames excels at distilling what every manager can learn from celebrity leaders like Jack Welch, Donald Rumsfeld, and Pope Francis. In 12 lessons, The Joe Biden Way explains what every leader of a diverse group in a changing world can do to boost performance and productivity by following the wisdom and example of President Joseph Biden"-- Provided by publisher.
