Review
"This book is a must-read for everyone who wants to make thoughtful, authentic decisions about their career and life path. You’re not like a tree—you don’t have to stay in the same place all the time. But having the courage to make a bold move is only part of the story. As Dr. McDaniel explains so well, there are many other factors to consider: Are you truly prepared? Do you have the necessary level of experience for success? Is that next step—be it a city or a job—the right fit? This book guides you through the kinds of thoughtful questions you’ve got to work through before making a major move, so you can make it with confidence.

What makes this book so valuable is how it encourages readers to look at themselves honestly—to examine their authenticity and assess whether an opportunity is genuinely appropriate for their goals. Fit is everything, and this book helps you understand if you’re a fit for a certain position or path. Whether you are contemplating a bold move of your own or feeling as stuck as a tree rooted in place, this book can help you figure out the right path forward for you. Preparedness and authenticity—these are the keys to making decisions that will help you get more win-wins out of life." — Gene DeFilippo President, DeFilippo and Associates, LLC; Former Director of Athletics, Villanova University and Boston College

"Whether you lead soldiers, employees, or fellow athletes, Win-Win Leadership is mandatory developmental reading. Dr. Karen McDaniel nails the critical gaps between leaders and those they lead on and off your field of competition in today’s world." — Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Loar, Retired Former Battalion Commander, 1-327 IN 101st Airborne Division
