We all have those sacred cows at work—the conventional wisdom to try your best, work well with others and produce excellent work. But these nuggets of advice, in practice, can lead to career-limiting unintended consequences. Based on Jake Breeden's experience coaching thousands of leaders worldwide, as well as scientific research, Tipping Sacred Cows reveals how to overcome these dangerous behaviors and helps clear a path so leaders can finally realize their full potential. Breeden's work identifies the seven most common sacred cows at work—including balance that turns bland and passion that becomes obsession—and how to overcome them. Whatever the profession or discipline, it's a pretty safe bet that your company, or your client's company, is making many of these mistakes right now. Correcting them can go a long way—even all the way to the bottom line.
