N A T I O N A L B E S T S E L L E R The Leadership GapĪfter decades of coaching powerful executives around the world, Lolly Daskal has observed that leaders rise to their positions relying on a specific set of values and traits. It puts names to our darkness, our suffering, and our pain which needs redemption, and that we as the redeemers can provide absolution. Lead From Within: Our shadow is our gift. Of rediscovering who we are in our complete self.Of recalling our potentially positive qualities.Of embracing some of our disowned parts.Of being in the right place and always doing it the right way.When we address our darkness, our blind spots, we will come to realize that there’s a gift in every shadow a gift that is ours if we dare to receive it. Heal our relationships by having honest and sincere self-examination and courageous conversations.Address our conscious and our unconscious.Obtain clarity on how our projections color our opinions about others.Secure freedom from guilt and shame that plague our negative emotions.Defuse negative emotions that derail us from our daily lives, to balance the light and dark.Gain a deeper understanding of who we are by achieving self-acceptance and expansion of self.It addresses the lessons we need to learn by spotlighting our blind spots that we have hidden, have not addressed or have disowned.Īs leaders who lead in every part of our business and life, our objective should be to have an ongoing relationship with our shadow so we can: When we are extremely irritated and irrational about another person’s faults (“ She really let her weight get out of control.” or “He just can’t seem to get his act together.”).( “I am so ashamed about how he spoke to me.”) When we are humiliated by circumstances.I cannot believe he had the nerve to show up that way.”) ( “I just can’t believe that she would say that. When our feelings are amplified about others.(“ This is the fourth time you have not shown up to the meetings or even called to say you will be late.”) When our negative feedback from others serves as a mirror.( “Both David and Libby feel you have not been honest with us.”) When our interactions continuously have the same troubling effect on several people.When our acts are unintentional and unintended.How do we recognize our SHADOW in relationships and business? Usually these people and situations are telling us more about ourselves than they are about the other person. It will attract the very people that we may often dislike and detest. He says that our judgment, anger and pain will present itself and we will see it everywhere, and in everyone. It’s the dark side of our personality and it’s the part of ourselves that we are often are not in touch with, or have possibly disowned.Ĭarl Gustav Jung says, when emotions and feelings are not made conscious, they usually manifest outside of us.
Our shadow is filled with fears, our insecurities, and our anxieties. Where we stand, it stands… There is no escaping it.
