With little to no preparation, performers get moved into leadership roles and are expected to thrive—but the opposite happens:

•They struggle to manage the people who used to be their peers.

•They follow the bad examples of their predecessors.

A Wonderful Resource and Great Narration

This is the second book by Jake Thompson. I love how he includes stories of his life including both his personal wins and losses. This is also the first book that I've listened to and because Jake wrote and narrated this book, it made it enjoyable to listen to and you could definitely tell his passion for what he writes about.

This lessons in this book are good for folks who are already leaders and folks who will become or want to be a leader in both sports and business.

I highly recommend this book as well as his first book, Compete Every Day.

Very tactical and inspirational.

Jake did a good job of giving you frameworks to lead your team effectively while inspiring you to believe that you can do it
