<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Inc. magazine's most popular writer, executive coach Lolly Daskal explains how anyone can recognize and leverage the leadership gaps that stand in the way of greatness. When successful people begin to feel uncertain or challenged at work, the one thing they want to know most is why things are going wrong after they have gone right for so long. In The Leadership Gap, Lolly Daskal reveals the consequences highly driven, overachieving leaders face when they continue to rely on a skill set that has always worked for them, even when it is no longer effective. Over decades of advising and inspiring the most prominent chief executives in the world, Daskal has discerned that leaders fall into one of seven categories -- The Rebel, The Explorer, The Truth Teller, The Hero, The Inventor, The Navigator, and The Knight-- and have risen to their position relying on a specific set of values and traits. However, every leader reaches a point when their effectiveness is compromised by the gap hidden in those traits -- intuition becomes manipulation, for instance, or integrity becomes corruption. Based on a mix of modern philosophy, science, and her own vast well of business experience, Daskal offers a breakthrough perspective on leadership -- a new system for rethinking everything you know to reveal the path to becoming the kind of leader you truly want to be. In The Leadership Gap, Lolly Daskal not only confirms her stature as an exceptional business mind, but also reveals the insights and observations of one of our most important leadership experts -- a businesswoman known for providing trusted advice, actionable solutions, and provocative ideas to the world's top executives"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Do people see you as the kind of leader you want to be? Are your strongest leadership qualities getting in the way of your greatness? <p/></b>After decades of advising and inspiring some of the most eminent chief executives in the world, Lolly Daskal has uncovered a startling pattern: within each leader are powerful abilities that are also hidden impediments to greatness. She's witnessed many highly driven, overachieving leaders rise to prominence fueled by well-honed skill sets, only to falter when the shadow sides of the same skills emerge. <p/>Now Daskal reveals her proven system, which leaders at any level can apply to dramatically improve their results. It begins with identifying your distinctive leadership archetype and recognizing its shadow: <p/>■ <b>The Rebel</b>, driven by confidence, becomes <b>the Imposter</b>, plagued by self-doubt.<br>■<b> The Explorer</b>, fueled by intuition, becomes<b> the Exploiter</b>, master of manipulation.<br>■ <b>The Truth Teller</b>, who embraces candor, becomes <b>the Deceiver</b>, who creates suspicion.<br>■ <b>The Hero</b>, embodying courage, becomes <b>the Bystander</b>, an outright coward.<br>■ <b>The Inventor</b>, brimming with integrity, becomes <b>the Destroyer</b>, who is morally corrupt.<br>■ <b>The Navigator</b>, trusts and is trusted, becomes<b> the Fixer</b>, endlessly arrogant.<br>■ <b>The Knight</b>, for whom loyalty is everything, becomes <b>the Mercenary</b>, who is perpetually self-serving. <p/>Using psychology, philosophy, and her own experience, Daskal offers a breakthrough perspective on leadership. She'll take you inside some of the most cloistered boardrooms, let you in on deeply personal conversations with industry leaders, and introduce you to luminaries who've changed the world. Her insights will help you rethink everything you know to become the leader you truly want to be.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Our weaknesses live in the shadows of our strengths, and this book does more than help us spot them--it shows us how to overcome them.
