About this listen
Leadership offers us the platform to build successful and fulfilling careers using our business skills to serve others, while creating profitability. Yet, in order to reach our full potential, leadership must be first and foremost approached as an inside job…. We build ourselves before we are equipped to build others.
The Square-Peg Leader Delusion navigates the intricate art of leadership, team-building and effective communication, emphasizing the difference between the role of a manager and the role of a leader. It takes readers through the different aspects of developing first our self-leadership, and subsequently the skill-set needed to lead others well; while building, optimizing and scaling a successful operation.
A square and a circle, despite both being geometrical figures, don’t naturally fit together; in the same way, a leader and a team, despite being from the same industry or even working for the same company, won’t automatically be a good fit for each other…many other factors come into play.
Team-building is in essence relationship building. A leader and his or her team share more than just common KPIs and objectives. They build together, grow together and eventually, succeed together. Using a leadership role for the sake of reaching the next step on the corporate ladder is a disservice to both the team and its leader. Meaningful leadership requires commitment and personal investment and it’s a delusion to think that any leader is suited to lead any team.
The author shares her own life and work experiences as a way to provide listeners with a practical application of the concepts and ideas shared throughout the book and keeps a lighthearted tone that makes this book an easy, yet insightful listen.

The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title. You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an “iron fist”. Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team. A team that respects and follows you, not because you’re a manager, but because you are the boss. But the choice is yours. You can keep second-guessing every decision you make. Or you can bring out the strong leader within and inspire your team to success.

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.
