If you had to choose between having power, authority, or influence in your career, which would you consider to be most fulfilling and powerful? Influence brings the truest significance to a career. But what does influence look like? How do you get it?

This groundbreaking book from San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance's retired corporate director of animal health provides a fresh--and highly practical--approach to leadership. With engaging stories, eye-opening interviews, and step-by-step advice, Upside-Down Leadership navigates common workplace challenges, providing a road map for those who want to effect positive change.
