The book is based on two fundamental concepts: perspective is decisive and human beings are born with the capability to develop leadership prescriptions. Different perspectives lead to different choices, in turn, those choices either limit or enhance performance levels. Using the sixteen stories told from the perspective of the subjects, their hands-on experiences are showcased and divided into four essential parts of the book: four stories in four parts interspersed with tables of information, tips, and workspaces in between. HIDDEN TALENTS is available as an eBook, paperback, and audiobook presented by the award-winning narrator Andi Arndt.
