"Did you say yes to a leader's role?

And, months later, find yourself wondering, ""What was I thinking?!""

It is not usually the big challenges, which you anticipated, that cause you to hang your head. It is the day-to-day moments, right? The team member who wasn't ready for the presentation to the big client. The latest email from a board member who reminds you that you're not actually the boss. How about that sharp new employee who has alienated her entire team in her first week? Or maybe it's the constant travel, which wasn't included in the job description. Stress, burnout, and frustrations abound, which can cause a talented leader to step away entirely. According to Deloitte, over 50% of leaders are ready to leave their job.

Learning From Business Leaders is both a coaching guide and a toolkit for leaders like you. It captures the stories of leaders who turned to an executive coach for guidance and support, and taught this coach some important lessons in return. The tools, tips, reflections, and questions in this book will become a vital resource for you. While you might be inspired by the people profiled, the stories are not intended to inspire you, or even motivate you, to stay in your leadership role. Rather, this is a handbook with valuable ideas and, like a scientist, I hope you experiment with the leadership learning you will find here."
