"Canadian entrepreneur Annette Verschuren lays out her surprising and inspiring philosophy for what it takes to lead and succeed in today's economy: tenacity, the willingness to embrace risk and an unwavering commitment to remain true to yourself, no matter how unorthodox you may seem. Drawing on her experiences as a Cape Breton farm girl who went on to lead Home Depot Canada's expansion from 19 to 179 stores, among other business ventures, her bold vision will change the way you approach your work and your business. Modern leadership is not about learning skills and techniques in order to become someone else. Transformational, authentic leaders achieve break-through results when they learn to trust in, listen to, and fully be themselves. Verschuren shares her own remarkable rise to the upper echelons of the corporate world, while offering practical life, management and leadership lessons for entrepreneurs and anyone looking to reinvigorate their life or their career. Annette Verschuren was born and raised in Cape Breton. Formerly a development officer with the Cape Breton Development Corporation, she worked for the Canada Development Investment Corporation and Imasco, Ltd., before co-founding Michaels in Canada. She is the past president of Home Depot in Canada and Asia, and she is currently the CEO of NRStor Inc., an energy storage technology company. She lives in Toronto"--Provided by publisher.
