If you’ve tried to change and failed, this book is for you. Grappling will show you the way, not by giving you lots of advice but by letting you in on other people’s struggle to be better. Different from most books on self-improvement, Grappling is a page-turner. It was chosen as one of the “BEST NEW SELF-HELP BUSINESS BOOKS.” There are eight stories, fictionalized real-life cases, that bring leadership and self-improvement to life. You will probably see yourself or people you know in at least a few of the stories. The stories are instructive but the lessons aren’t spelled out. You draw your own conclusions. But the final chapter, “Lessons For Leaders,” pulls all the threads together. That’s where the book’s major points are all laid out. To grow is to grapple—with yourself. In every story there’s something blocking the way to being a better leader. The leader’s got to grapple with that block, that obstacle. Often it’s in the person’s head. But they don’t necessarily know what that is, what they’re up against. That’s where a consultant—a guide—comes in handy.
