Please join me for an inspiring and informative conversation as I talk with my friend and colleague Lolly Daskal, author of the bestselling book The Leadership Gap: What Gets Between You and Your Greatness. During our 20-minute podcast, Lolly talked about:
- How greatness resides in each of us, and how to fully embrace your greatness.
- How what makes you great can also lead to your downfall.
- Your greatest leadership opportunity is in discovering who you are – not only your values and goals, but embracing all of who you are, including your strengths and weaknesses.
- How these ideas apply in other relationships with your peers, your boss, and your family.

When The Leadership Gap was first released I wrote the blog post The Shadow Side of Leadership based on the concepts in the book. At that time I endorsed the book saying, “I read it, I love it, I recommend it!” and I still do.

Great conversation. Thanks, Jesse. I think I have to buy this book!
So glad you enjoyed it, Marye Gail. It’s an excellent book, using Jungian archetypes to identify your strengths and shadow side.
So much richness in the conversation and shared wisdom. I see Lolly’s for but, alas I have not read this book. That’s a status which will change today! Thank you both
Delighted to hear that Eileen!
