Why Senior Leaders Need a Team of Misfits

Why Senior Leaders Need a Team of Misfits

Tracey Jones

Got it! Here's a crisp Shopify product excerpt for The Island of Misfit Leaders:


What if being pushed out was actually the beginning?

The Island of Misfit Leaders is a leadership parable about eight extraordinary leaders — Unity, Truth, Logic, Passion, Industry, Candor, Merit, and Conscience — who were told they were too much, not enough, or simply didn't fit. Cast out by organizations that couldn't handle their gifts, they wash up on a bleak, mysterious island haunted by the Abominable Mirror Man — a creature who weaponizes every rejection, every failure, every lie they ever believed about themselves.

But what broke them individually becomes unstoppable when they stand together.

Part fable, part leadership manifesto, this book is for every leader who has ever been penalized for telling the truth, raising the standard, or refusing to play politics. Your gift was never the problem. The soil was.

You were never a misfit. You were just misaligned.

Can We Train Loyalty?

Can We Train Loyalty?

During one of my coaching calls last week, my entrepreneurial client remarked, "We can train for everything except loyalty." Wow, I had never heard this concept expressed that way. I immediately began to digest and unpack his words. Next, I asked several others, whose opinions I regularly seek out, what they thought. The consensus was that we should model and encourage loyalty, which is a given. But if a leader models and inspires loyalty, does that guarantee its reciprocation? Is loyalty a give-to-get kind of thing, or is it something that emerges internally regardless of the context?

Last week I was prepping a large pallet of books to ship to one of our clients and searching for a freight carrier. Every modern day business is incredibly competitive, and I send out bids assessing convenience, price, customer service, and ease of transaction.
