    How is it some leaders can demand the most of you in such a way that you love them for it? When Dale Dauten and J.T. O’Donnell studied such leaders they found the laws of Mandatory Greatness.

    Their new book unfolds as a conversation between a young everyman manager and a wise woman. She’s a veteran consultant who’s been described as having “skirts of steel.” He wins a coaching day with her in a charity raffle – much to his disappointment.

    Reluctantly, he agrees to let her observe him as he works, and eventually she drags him to the revelation that, despite high ambitions, he is a typical manager with average prospects. He is, as she sums it up, “inadvertently mediocre.”

    Then, as she deconstructs his work and philosophy, he learns new principles and techniques, ones that will carry him on the journey from “liked” to “respected.”
