Our Books
A library for leaders who know yesterday’s playbook won’t get us where we need to go.
Beginning with Leadership Actually—the first book in the Leadership Actually Trilogy—we write to illuminate how genuine leadership is practiced: together with others, in dialogue, and in lived experience.
The Leadership Actually Trilogy

A grounded way to lead without grandiosity
Not Just a Trilogy
These aren’t just books—they’re a leadership development toolkit.
We don’t write books for shelves. We write them for people like you—people doing the work.
Each title stands on its own, and also supports a wider path of practice.
