WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS CRUCIAL. When we fail, we're tempted to walk off the field. To "bench" ourselves and give up. But, those who care for and count on us the most don't want us to quit. They're aching for us to stay in the game. This book will help you spot four tactics the enemy employs to try and convince you to bow out. And, it will give you four tools you can use to fight back and win. Whether you're a leader, parent, spouse, employee or all of the above, the game of life is too important to abandon. Don't bench yourself.
