Written by David Dotlich and Peter Cairo– two of the country's top executive coaches and educators– Unnatural Leadership debunks the common notion of the natural leader as a flawless figure.

Drawing on personal experience working with successful leaders in top-tier companies throughout the world, Dotlich and Cairo identify a style of leadership used by those who succeed in complicated business and people situations, a style that maximizes a leader's strengths and acknowledges weaknesses.
