Synopsis: Is fear limiting your leadership potential? Dancing with Monsters will inspire you to overcome your fears and optimize your key relationships by leveraging humility, authenticity, and kindness. Fears and discomfort slow us down and sometimes completely derail our personal progress. As leaders at work, we can similarly be knocked off course by the conflict, personality differences, motivational issues, and performance problems within our teams. These obstacles are the monsters in our lives. In Dancing with Monsters, globally recognized leadership educator, author, and speaker Todd Dewett, PhD, offers an enthralling, fast-paced fable that examines how to embrace those monsters in order to harness you and your team&’s true power. Joe is a depressed vampire at risk of losing his monster status due to poor performance. He is tasked with leading a group of misfit monsters who lack confidence. Sheets, Mum, Wolfy, and Z have not yet learned to do the one thing all monsters do: scare kids. Dancing with Monsters tells the story of their collective efforts, missteps included, toward connecting with their authentic selves. This captivating story plus Dewett&’s discussion and reflection prompts add up to a must-read guide to reclaiming your better self by learning to dance with your monsters.
