The Capable CEO — Lead Yourself First
$19.90
You don't need another leadership book telling you what perfect looks like. You need one that's honest about what it actually feels like.
The Capable CEO — Book One: Lead Yourself First is built from more than 20 years leading in the purpose-driven sector — the decisions, the setbacks, and the quiet realisations that actually shape a leader over time.
This isn't theory. Each of the six chapters follows the same rhythm: a real story, honest reflections, and a Capability Checkpoint — a short self-assessment to help you see exactly where you stand today, and what one small step forward could look like.
Inside, you'll work through:
Values — your compass for decisions without an obvious answer
Time Management — protecting the day's best hour, on purpose
Decision Fatigue — why not every decision deserves the same weight
Boundaries — what's still standing after everything else is decided
Imposter Syndrome — courage isn't the absence of self-doubt
Resilience — built in the moments that test you the most
There are no right or wrong scores in this book. The point isn't a perfect number — it's building the habit of checking in with yourself, on purpose, the same way a capable leader checks in with everything else they're responsible for.
If you lead a team, a board, or an organisation — and you're tired of leadership advice that doesn't sound like your actual life — this book is for you.
