The book, chapter by chapter
Six chapters,
one argument.
An introduction, six chapters, a conclusion and an afterword — 144 pages, written to be finished on a flight and used on Monday. Here is what each chapter argues, with the authors’ own takeaways.
Why authentic leadership, on its own, can be the most toxic style of all.
Read → 02 Eat LastWhat the military understands about serving the people you lead.

Read → 04 Your Team Through New EyesThe leaders you already have are not the ones on the org chart.
Read → 05 The ROI of CaringThe business case, for the executive who needs one before the human one.
Read → 06 Change What You Can and Partner to Cover the RestYou cannot be everything to everyone. Staff around it honestly.

A summary, not a substitute.
Each page gives you the argument of the chapter, one story from it, and the Key Takeaways exactly as the authors wrote them.
What they do not give you is the book. The worked examples, the assessments, the scripts for the conversations, and the parts where Eric and Stacie put their own reviews and failures on the page are all in the 144 pages, and they are the reason it works.
If a chapter lands, that is the one to have them speak on. Every chapter page links straight to the keynote built around it.

The book is the argument. A keynote, a seminar, or a coaching engagement is how it becomes the way your organization actually runs.
