About this listen
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 positions relying on a specific set of values and traits. However, all leaders reach 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.

Critic reviews
"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)

Great leadership book
This is one of the best leadership books I have listened to. The author / narrator describes a variety of types of leader in a way that makes it easy to identify yourself.
She uses real life examples of clients she has worked with to show the strengths of each leadership type and also to highlight their gaps.
Very useful book in that it helps to identify specific gaps that you may have as a leader and how to address these. Very different from many other leadership / management books as they tend to only give generic advice on how to be a good leader rather than looking at the mix of positive and negatives traits that most leadership types are made up of.

great book
I feel that this book is going to be a classic. having now listened to the book 3 times though to completion, I have picked up something new each time. this book will help you to understand the different personality types and character traits that are required to become a great leader. The biggest this I took from this book is that I need to delegate more.
