“This book is a clear-eyed report from lived experience – moments reflected upon, digested, and re-synthesized as broadly applicable insights. This is Todd channeled, arising from the kind of unflinchingly honest reckoning with himself, and the situations he found himself in, that a true leader must be able to face. There are many sentences in this book that by themselves could have a major impact on one’s work life and career and that, standing alone, would be reason enough to read this book. In a world crowded with career advice platitudes, this is a sparkling gem. And a tour de force.”

The johari window:
The Johari Window is a communication model that is used to improve understanding between individuals. The word "Johari" is taken from the names of Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, who developed the model in 1955. There are two key ideas behind the tool:
- That you can build trust with others by disclosing information about yourself.
- That, with the help of feedback from others, you can learn about yourself and come to terms with personal issues.
Your style under stress:
When the stakes are high, emotions run strong, and opinions differ, we all struggle to stay cool. But more often than not, we clam up for fear that speaking up will make things worse; or, we blow up because we haven’t a clue how to express ourselves honestly and respectfully.
