Re-Authoring Leadership invites leaders to confront the stories they tell themselves and the identities they cling to. Leadership is not only about what we do, but about how we experience the world, who we are while doing it, and how we choose to make meaning of events as they unfold. Instead of simply repeating inherited scripts of power, authority, or success, this book challenges readers to rewrite their own leadership narrative. 

 

Through case studies, reflective models, and provocative questions, it explores how you experience the world in the present moment, the deeper question of being, the stories you tell about yourself and how they limit or expand your leadership, and the almost preconditioned responses that keep you stuck, unless you learn to disrupt and rewrite them.

 

Each chapter blends insight with practice, opening with a disruptive question and closing with a challenge that pushes the reader beyond complacency into commitment, beyond justifying into action, and beyond predictable into extraordinary.

 

For leaders ready to step into discomfort, embrace complexity, and write a story worth living, this book offers both the pen, the practices and the courage to use it.  The result - you can shift from being shaped by experience, to shaping your experience.
