The Leadership Gap

Praise

“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. Lolly Daskal takes us into the trenches of her executive coaching practice, carefully unpacking the self-awareness gaps that hold leaders back and lighting the path to expanding our comfort zones.”
—Adam Grant, author of Originals and Give and Take

“I’ve seen talented leaders unwittingly make the biggest mistakes of their careers simply because they don’t understand the complexities and pitfalls of their own strengths. The Leadership Gap offers terrific insight and valuable wisdom for high achievers who want to understand the tendencies that stand between them and meaningful success.”
—Sydney Finkelstein, author of Superbosses and Why Smart Executives Fail

“Great leaders understand who they are as leaders and what motivates them to do the things they do. If you want to become one of them, read Lolly Daskal’s deeply insightful book. It has invaluable advice for leaders who want to propel themselves to the next level. It’s essential reading for those who want to be great.”
—Heidi Grant Halvorson, author of No One Understands You and What to Do About It

“The Leadership Gap is an exciting new contribution to the tired conversation of leadership and artfully explains why some leaders succeed while others don’t. Lolly Daskal draws on a wealth of expertise as a leading global leadership consultant to identify the skills and gaps that exist within all of us.”
—Cy Wakeman, author of Reality-Based Leadership

“As a leader there’s one thing standing between you and your ultimate potential. Once you are aware of it, once you embrace it, and once you know how to close that ‘gap,’ you can then become the magnificent leader you are meant to be.”
—Bob Burg, coauthor of The Go-Giver
