Counter Mentor Leadership
How to Unlock the Potential of the 4-Generation Workplace
Co-authored with son, Robby Riggs, Counter Mentor Leadership is not another #boringleadershipbook!
A bit snarky, and occasionally sarcastic, this book opens up the secrets of effective workplace leadership by offering up proven skills that improve engagement and unleash the potential of every employee.
Using their unique COUNTER leadership model as a guide, Kelly and Robby teach you how to use the "game-changing" skill of effective one-on-one meetings, and how to use the "freedom box" concept to create employee ownership.
This, and MUCH more. Learn how to unlock the potential of the 4-generation workplace!
