Praise for This Book
City Year National Board of Trustees
Self-aware leaders are humble but confident; they are comfortable being uncomfortable. They know that the success of the enterprise rests with their reinvention, that of their teams, and that of the products/services they offer. This is a great book for middle managers as they prepare to lead larger teams in a world of rapid change. It lays out the challenge and the absolute necessity of reinvention as well as the framework, requisite attributes, and guideposts to enable the self-aware leader to be successful for their teams, their enterprise, their communities, and themselves.
