As leaders, how aware are we of the obstacles we create for ourselves that impede our ability to achieve our own form of greatness? That's the question that served as the basis of my conversation with my fellow leadership expert and friend, Lolly Daskal. Lolly is the president and CEO of Lead From Within, a global consultancy that specializes in leadership and entrepreneurial development. Lolly is also a prolific writer, not only creating regular content for her award-winning leadership blog, but she also writes a column for Inc.com and Psychology Today, as well as having her work appear in the Harvard Business Review and Fast Company. Although she's the recipient of numerous awards and accolades, the one that probably best describes Lolly is something The Huffington Post once wrote about her, calling her “The Most Inspiring Woman in The World”. For our conversation, Lolly and I discuss her new book called “The Leadership Gap: What Gets Between You and Your Greatness”. As I mentioned at the end of this episode, I’d love to hear what you think about this episode, as well as what other topics you’d be interested in hearing more about in upcoming episodes of my show.
