This book is: Vivaciously Vigorously Valuably Versatile
This is an incredibly vercetile book appealing to both high flying executives as well as those wanting to learn more about leadership on a smaller level. It is very inspiring and, in the words of a trusted 93 year old friend of mine, 'reading this book makes me just want to get up and do something!'
