A Leadership Kick in the Ass: How to Learn from Rough Landings, Blunders, and Missteps

Very few great leaders haven't had at least one good ass-whuppin'. But leadership development expert Bill Treasurer says it can be a new beginning. Not only has he worked with thousands of leaders over a twenty-year career, but a boot to his own nascent-leader posterior is what started him on this path. Treasurer shows how to step back and treat failure as your own very painful teachable moment. He discusses the different ways your ass can get kicked over the course of your career and how to learn from each one. This book is a survival guide, coach, and morale booster, to use that kick to move forward instead of fall down. If you succeed, the next place you get kicked might be upstairs.
