Leadership Lessons From
The Son Of A Terrible Golfer

In Leadership Lessons from the Son of a Terrible Golfer, Dr. Byrd and his son, Ivy, team up for a fast-paced, 18-hole masterclass that proves the fairway is the best classroom.

Whether you are navigating a tricky par-4 or managing a complex corporation, this book offers actionable insights to help you stay out of the woods and keep your leadership game straight down the middle.
