Steve Farber, Best-Selling Author and Extreme Leadership Expert

Whatever the challenge at your company—improving customer service, coping with change, inspiring transformation, improving corporate culture, recruiting and retaining great talent, building teamwork or fostering innovation—it all comes down to this: someone has to do something significant and enlist others to help. Steve Farber will show how leadership, ultimately, has nothing to do with the title on your business card or your position on the organizational chart. It’s about who you are and what you do to change things for the better regardless of your "place" in the company. Mr. Farber is the best-selling author of Greater Than Yourself: The Ultimate Lesson In Leadership and is devoted to the cultivation and development of Extreme Leaders in the business community.
