The Books
The first book was born from personal reinvention — learning to get out of your own way when life demands a new chapter. The second book applies those same principles to leadership — helping the next generation of leaders navigate uncertainty with confidence. Together, they form a complete leadership philosophy: transform yourself first, then transform others.
The original framework · First edition
The book that started it all. A direct, generous guide to the patterns that quietly run leaders' careers — and the practical moves to interrupt them.
Used by executive teams, MBA programs, and book clubs as a shared language for the work that doesn't show up on the org chart.
A decade of new work, distilled · Latest release
Volume Two picks up where the original left off — sharper case studies, deeper practices, and the questions that matter when the stakes have only grown.
Designed to be read alone or in pairs: a coach and a leader, a CEO and their COO, a mentor and the next one up.
