This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of exploring both conscious and unconscious drivers and blockers in a person's leadership development journey. From the very beginning, the authors establish a compelling argument that delving into these forces, known as drivers (which motivate) and blockers (which obstruct), can lead to a profound level of self-awareness, thereby enhancing the likelihood of meaningful change for the individual. The research presented in this book builds upon and seamlessly integrates well-established leadership development approaches, including 'immunity to change' and 'positive psychology.'

The book is organized into chapters that examine drivers and blockers as "assumptions" and "forces" within individuals, which have the potential to significantly impact their personal change efforts. The authors delve into the reservoirs or sources of these drivers and blockers, encompassing a wide range of factors such as worldviews, emotions, personality traits, values, and motivators. Through their insightful analysis, the authors offer a valuable tool that leadership development practitioners, coaches, and scholars can utilize with individuals to embark on a profound exploration of their drivers and blockers.

Throughout the work, real-life examples drawn from the authors' extensive field research are employed to bring these concepts to life, providing a relatable and practical perspective for readers. By examining both conscious and unconscious aspects of leadership development, this book offers a holistic and comprehensive approach to fostering growth and transformation in individuals. Whether you are a seasoned leader seeking to enhance your skills or an aspiring leader embarking on your journey, this book provides valuable insights and tools to help you navigate the complexities of personal development and achieve your full potential.
