Book Synopsis
Practical leadership for difficult times, from a crisis management expert who has led response teams through the 9/11 Pentagon attack, NFL on-field medical emergencies, and the war in Ukraine.

Dr. Thom Mayer knows first-hand that true leadership stems from our actions, not our positions, especially in times of crisis.

  • Why trust is vital for innovation
  • The critical role of failure in devising new ways of leading
  • How questions fuel innovative action
  • Why every leader should have the title Chief Story Teller
  • The importance of distinguishing between data, knowledge, and wisdom

Each chapter begins with a provocative and seemingly contradictory statement,
