This week (10/19 to 10/25) on Work Matters we're talking about how to sharpen our leadership skills.

How many great leaders do you know? Are you one of them? Could you become a better one? Join me this week to find out how to better engage staff and build loyal followers.

Our first expert is Mike Mears, author of Leadership Elements. Then I interview Frank McNair author of Golden Rules for Managers and we discuss further how to be a better manager.
