The Leadership Gap

Lolly Daskal argues that leadership failure isn't about lacking talent but about refusing to confront the shadow self lurking behind every strength. Her seven archetypes map the terrain: the Rebel who becomes an Impostor through self-doubt, the Explorer who slides into Exploiter through manipulation, the Truth Teller who morphs into Deceiver. From Frances Hesselbein's transformation of the Girl Scouts to Dr. Bennet Omalu's defiance of the NFL over chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Daskal shows that closing the gap requires naming your specific weakness, not hiding it.
