Bobby has written a profound book on leadership, consistent with the struggle—and excellence—of his life. Reading it reminds me of my father’s belief that leadership is communicating people’s worth and potential so clearly that they’re inspired to see it in themselves.

So many leaders today feel that leadership is about telling others what to do based on their superior, hard-earned knowledge. In The Gift of Struggle, Bobby demonstrates that effective leadership is about humility and a Service-Over-Self mindset.
