I haven’t read too many books about how leaders are formed or how to become one as stereotypes of character get in the way, but this book puts a lot of things into perspective。As Jo Owens covers different stages of one’s life and mindset, it paints a picture of a slippery slope to success as it grows higher。I’m not talking about just some wet hill, but a sand dune where the angled spine is easiest to walk on but can still crumble while it continues to grow taller。 I know that analogy might be mu I haven’t read too many books about how leaders are formed or how to become one as stereotypes of character get in the way, but this book puts a lot of things into perspective。As Jo Owens covers different stages of one’s life and mindset, it paints a picture of a slippery slope to success as it grows higher。I’m not talking about just some wet hill, but a sand dune where the angled spine is easiest to walk on but can still crumble while it continues to grow taller。 I know that analogy might be much for me praising this book, but it touches on things you have to consider in a team dynamic。Whether it is business or politics, you will face obstacles from your own self doubt you could be conditioned to face or others talking behind your back or trying to spread rumors to sabotage your growth。The book covers challenges and routines that make or break you based on your outlook。 To succeed, you must be a leader。 To be the best leader, you must be positive and focus on the future。 Pessimism or placing blame only detracts from your goals and makes it difficult to get ahead。 The book also covers what each position as a leader may face。 If you are at the bottom, as a manager, you have to understand how that works and your mindset must focus on the goal and how others can work as a unit to get there,As a supervisor of managers, you have to balance delegating tasks and allowing managers to work without micromanaging them。 You have to show respect and remove things like ego, or loan hero mentality to grow and change。 You must remain humble and aware that what you build, or your position, can collapse like anything else。 The book covers traps for different positions and mindsets along with how each may growOne piece of advice was on building courage to gain success through challenge。 It covered stagnation and the eventual death of success if you do not adapt。Challenge->Test->Learn->Adapt (repeat)On a personal note, this is something I fail in as I am a cautious person when I get comfortable。These small fallacies are covered in more detail with examples of politicians, historical figures and businessmen of all types。I recommend this book as it gives a short blueprint to understand what situation you are in and how to grow。 Not claiming as end all be all, but it give a path in stepping stones。 。。。more
