This book provides young leaders or future high-potentials the guidance needed for how to deal with the challenges of leading teams in modern organizations.

It highlights the typical mistakes made by first-time leaders and offers theoretical and practical advice to deal with the difficulties of management.

Critics tend to see power as a negative thing. But power is a critical tool that affects the implementation of any idea. Any attempt to restrain it with rules results in domestication and resentment and fails to energize the organization. Leaders often equate themselves with lions and indulge their desire to dominate when, in fact, the point of leadership is to be secure enough to outgrow the lion within us.
