    About this ebook

    You've probably risen to a level of achievement that others might be envious to have. But you're not at the top either...you're in management but so often you feel stuck in the middle, fighting the tension between growing your technical capabilities and exercising those communication “soft skills” needed when leading others. This book is for you. It's a lighthearted yet serious look at life, and leadership, at surviving and thriving in the business world in well, a rather unique way. Like picking up dog poop, your latest setback may be the opportunity to pick up a fresh perspective, embrace your unique style, and keep moving forward! So get ready to grow and giggle as you read these short and helpful insights for learning how to lead from the middle. And who knows, this might just be the key to you rising to the top!
