\"\"<\/a>With eager anticipation I cracked open the newest book from Gallup Press: Breaking the Fear Barrier, by Tom Reiger.\u00a0 Generally, I\u2019m a fan of the insights produced by the researchers at Gallup.\u00a0 The tagline: \u201cHow fear destroys companies from the inside out and what to do about it\u201d was very promising, and I dove right in!<\/p>\n

Sadly, I was only mildly impressed with Reiger\u2019s work.\u00a0 Gallup has a powerful marketing engine that will surely put this book on the Best Seller list overnight — but I found it to be more ‘heady’ than compelling…just one step above ‘yawner.’<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really disappointed because anyone who makes a living as an Executive Coach dives into the arena of \u2018fear\u2019 often.\u00a0 Just like the frayed rope that’s losing it’s strength, many leaders let fears degrade their ability to hold people together.<\/p>\n

This book jumped off that shelf and into my briefcase, because I was looking for deep insight about why and how fear causes powerful people to act out in mysterious ways.\u00a0 I am continually looking for a razor sharp, compelling book to help some of my clients whose fears may become de-railing to their careers that were once on the fast track.<\/p>\n

The book Tim Schmidt and I co-authored: What Really Works, introduces the idea that \u201cblending the Seven Fs:\u201d faith, family, finances, fitness, friends, fun and future, can help leaders create personal and professional harmony \u2013 and live and work with less fear.\u00a0 We\u2019ve even promised to tackle the subject of “fear” in a future book.<\/p>\n
