The Leadership Deficit:: The Gap Between Strength and Vulnerability

A motivational leadership book and inspirational guide to personal development all rolled into one, The Leadership Deficit:The Gap Between Strength and Vulnerability is based on the principle that your relational style is the same—regardless of your environment. Offering the knowledge and insight you need to enhance all of your relationships, you're sure to become a stronger leader because of it. Author and mentor Joseph A. Urcavich has been influencing young leaders for over thirty-five years. Here he uses real-life examples to illustrate practical strategies that will help you improve the way you relate to the various people in your life. At the heart of his philosophy is the need to think differently about who you really are and understand how this will influence others. Drawing from personal experience, Urcavich explains how our performance-based society encourages us to try to please others, to the detriment of truly understanding ourselves. Lacking self-validation, we are all in competition with each other for approval, and we end up trying to protect ourselves rather than working to build better relationships with each other. It's time to learn a new model for relationship building that will transform your life in every arena.
