About Us

We wrote this book because we saw a need to fill the gap between what is taught in the classroom and what happens in real life experiences. What we observed boils down to three truths about effective leaders.

  • They have deep self-awareness and do the hard work of personal growth
  • They understand human beings: emotions, thought patterns, motivations
  • They connect in meaningful ways with others and invest in those relationships
