You have the skills, experience, and ambition to make a leap in your career-and yet, your progress has stagnated. You've had some success, but not as much as you'd envisioned, and it's been difficult to attract and retain the talent you need to build a high-performing team. You know you're capable of inspiring resiliency and self-sufficiency in those you lead, but you're not sure the best way to reach that next level.
Jawad Ahsan has been in your shoes. When he decided to stop letting others chart his course, and instead began to pursue his own North Star, it transformed his career.

Drawing on his remarkable story, Jawad shows how charting your own course not only changes how others view you-it changes how you view yourself. If you're ready to become a resilient leader at the helm of a high-performing team, this book is for you.

This is a thoughtful perspective on the journey to professional success, described through the author’s life experience encountering the challenges faced in advancing from an individual contributor to effective and impactful leader.
The author does a nice job of addressing challenges of diversity from his own perspective. It is a fresh point of view often missing in management guides.
The book is fast paced and targeted for young professionals who are navigating their own careers and benefit from the wisdom gained from another’s success, failures and the process in between.

Great read
Familiar, motivational, poignant, and real. Jawad it is told by you from you. I read it in an hour. For a mom of 3, dual career, COVID-remote learning - it was a good pause that I actually could make time for. Thank you for sharing your story.
