It's a cookie-cutter, fear-based, top-down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations.

Today’s organizations are packed full of experts in every area from marketing to sales to IT. Many of these people are also leaders, heading teams or departments. They lead because they know more than the rest of their group. They are followed because of their credibility as experts. Yet, the toughest transition in business comes when expert leaders are asked to move beyond their expertise and lead a larger group. In Wanda Wallace’s experience, this move - from expert to spanning leader - requires a new mind-set about how to lead.

Few leaders will admit it, but again and again the growth of their organizations outruns their skills. If you're one of those leaders, you know the result: as the job grows bigger than you are, you get disoriented by a world of unfamiliar challenges. You then hit a wall of ineffectiveness, a stall point. Why won't doubling down on the managerial and technical building blocks that have worked before help you out of a stall? Because you invariably neglect the new political, personal, strategic, and interpersonal skills needed to manage yourself and others.

Not for personal development
I bought this book because in the audio clip, it mentioned it would cover personal decision making. It doesn't. This is a business-focused book, so if you're looking for something more self-growth focused, keep looking.
