The underlying challenge for any leader is to optimize the potential of their team. Everything in this book relates to a leader’s ability to inspire great performance for those who they have the privilege to lead. It is not about a leader’s own accomplishments, talents, skills, and knowledge, but rather how they propel those around them to new heights. Are you a leader who wants to be the Best Boss Ever but don’t know how? Did you think you were the Best Boss Ever but found out that your team’s view of you differed from your own?

The team’s morale, discipline, efficiency, and performance are a reflection of their leader’s influence and effectiveness. If you suck, they will suck. Worse yet, if they perform and behave nothing like you, they’re not yours and someone else is influencing them.
