Much of what we hear about who gets to the top, and how, is wrong. Those who become chief executives set their sights on the C-suite at an early age. In fact, over 70 percent of the CEOs didn't have designs on the corner office until later in their careers. You must graduate from an elite college. In fact, only seven percent of CEOs in the dataset are Ivy League graduates - and eight percent didn't graduate from college at all. To become a CEO you need a flawless résumé. The reality: 45 percent of CEO candidates had at least one major career blowup.

Story
Most of what we know about how ideas spread comes from best-selling authors who give us a compelling picture of a world, in which "influencers" are king, "sticky" ideas "go viral", and good behavior is "nudged" forward. The problem is that the world they describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviors stay the same. When it comes to lasting change in what we think or the way we live, the dynamics are different: beliefs and behaviors are not transmitted from person to person in the simple way that a virus is.

Complex Contagion

Publisher's summary
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)

Male pronouns
It would have been easy to alternate pronouns instead of using only he and him...not good enough to offer a statement in the beginning that we should assume he/him means everyone...not good enough.

Excellent discussion on great leadership
Lolly's work is fascinating look at what makes great leaders and their faults - all written and read in a rational and easy to access method that anyone can identify with. This isn't just a great resource for identifying your own leadership gap and developing your self, but great concepts for identifying and drawing out leaders in your teams. I listened to this book then immediately started over again. Will be recommending this book to others.

Any additional comments?
The author makes the obvious understandable by drawing on real life examples about how to handle humans.
It is clear that the same skills it takes to build are not those it takes to maintain an organization. That was the real revelation to me.

Painful
Caveat emptor with my review is that I’m skeptical of what I’ll call Pop Business books and rarely read them. Most are just full of ex post facto vacuous non-analysis whose wisdom could be digested in 5 minutes or a couple of pages. But I’ve every once in a while encountered a Pop Business book that offered original thoughts and useful insights. For some reason, I thought this book would be one of those. It wasn’t remotely close.

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.

Story
Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don’t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don’t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favorites. In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.
