Many leaders subscribe to the "focus on your strengths," style of leadership. Unfortunately, leaders often fail to realize when their strengths become a liability, when they consistently overdo it, when balance is forgotten and lopsidedness takes hold. This book is based on twenty years of research and extensive work with leaders in a variety of organizations, Kaplan and Kaiser have created a model that identifies and corrects leadership lopsidedness. It presents two key pairs of managerial dimensions: forceful and enabling, strategic and operational. The book helps improve performance by making leaders aware of the midpoint between doing too much and doing too little within each dimension.
