“Strengths can become weaknesses and turn on you when you least expect it.” Dr. Richard Z. Gooding
The skills that made you a star performer can get in the way and prevent you from becoming an effective
leader. The key to making this transition is to recognize these different skills and then to practice and
develop them.
This book lays out a leadership model that includes teamwork, goal setting, and challenge. The model
is explained through a series of short stories. At the end of each tale there are questions to help the
reader reflect and draw out lessons and applications to use immediately.
