When Leaders Are Lost - Williams Glenn

WHEN LEADERS ARE LOST

Moving Beyond Disappointment, Failure, and Hurt to Redefine Success

You had a dream. A crazy goal. An idea that was going to make you money, a product that everyone was going to want to buy, or a career path that was going to set you on a trajectory that would bring opportunities, influence, power, financial security, and fulfillment. You thought it would be smooth sailing, and apart from minor bumps here and there, success would come quickly. But then it started unravelling. The business you started is now a shadow of what it once was. The promise of growth and success has become a nightmare. Trusted relationships have died. Lost sleep, anxiety, stress, conflict, and an uncertain future have become part of your leadership experience. So, now what? Where do you go from here?

"Glenn attacks a subject too many are afraid to discuss. What happens when life and work don't go as planned, sometimes under challenging and confronting circumstances? It's brilliant. I couldn't put it down it took me four hours to read cover to cover and it was totally worth it."

"This is a must-read for those who have led and might be afraid to dream again and for those leaders who want to unleash the latent leadership potential in others."

"There is widespread acceptance leaders can grow from a place of failure and disappointment. But much less known is the reality of "lostness" for leaders. This book will be a powerful 'sensemaking' tool helping you move on to the next great leadership adventure."
