Is leadership a mystery? Do leaders really understand the value, risk, and reality of the leadership brand? Or is leadership an illusion where ignorance is bliss?

The purpose of this book is to unveil the mystery of leadership. Leadership is a risky proposition and not as easy as it seems. In naivety, leaders or those aspiring often are misguided by the perception of the pot of gold at the end of the leadership rainbow. With time, they quickly realize that leadership is costly, has consequences for others, and is riddled with challenges. Thus, what leaders don't know them will harm them and others eventually.
