A Guided Notebook for Growing Leaders

Not a leadership manual. A space to challenge what you think you already know about people management. Shedding light on 21 leadership myths — one page, one reflection at a time.

About the Book

As leadership trainers, one thing that surprises us again and again is the realization that many leadership myths still exist in the minds of managers we have worked with. So, we decided to put together a book that debunks some of these myths.

Each myth is followed by space to reflect and write down your own thoughts — because real change starts with your own answers, not ours.
