You Thought All Leaders Were The Same…Until This Happened. Real-Life ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ Case Studies

Bob Habib | 2018

Abstract

In today’s rapidly changing world, leaders and followers alike oftentimes find themselves in unpredictable situations. Like with most things in life, being armed with information often helps to better navigate challenges that come along, regardless of one’s ability to fully understand every aspect of the situation. Unfortunately, merely having information is not enough. Leaders must balance knowledge with wisdom and experience in order to maximize the propensity for success, regardless of the situation they find themselves in.

Based on the style of RA Montgomery’s Choose Your Own Adventure books, this manuscript provides real-life leadership scenarios, with real players, real possibilities and real potential outcomes and consequences. This book will help leaders at all levels better understand the nuances found between the most published best-practices of leadership and the lesser talked about leadership experiences and outcomes that cannot simply be found in a book. Interestingly, many times those two worlds do not intersect at logical junctures or times. The manuscript promotes engaging leadership discussions and reflections by using real situations but allows the reader to choose how the given scenario is resolved, or at a minimum, choose how they hope it would have turned out.

If there is one takeaway from navigating through the journeys found in this book, it’s this: There are no absolutes in leadership.
