About this listen

Lead yourself. Lead your team. Lead your company.

Most people try to target one of these at a time, but the truth is, they all build off each other. Want to lead your team better? Learn how to lead yourself first. Want to lead your company well? Learn how to lead your team.

In the chaos of running a business, we can complicate what it means to lead. But at the end of the day, leadership really boils down to one clear tenet: taking care of people. It's about teaching others how to think so that they can get what they want. It's about enabling people to be and to do their best.

While there's no formula for great leadership, there are opportunities to "stand on the shoulders of giants," to follow the example of those who have gone before us, to mimic and adapt techniques that have worked for others. That's precisely what this book is: a collection of models that will help you lead better. Each chapter will provide real stories and examples, leadership and business principles, and actionable items and advice with the goal of equipping you to lead yourself, your team, and your company better.

The Steady Leader is your guide to unlocking your full potential as an individual, leader, and advocate—both in and out of the workplace.

In The Steady Leader, the most resonant message is also the most essential: in order to lead others, we must first truly lead ourselves. This isn’t just a philosophical stance—it’s the backbone of the book’s deeply practical approach to leadership.

What sets this book apart is its immediate usability. Rather than vague platitudes or abstract theory, the author delivers concrete models and frameworks that readers can apply right away. One that especially stood out to me was the One Page Plan—a brilliantly simple tool that brings clarity to vision and direction for any mission. Whether you’re leading a company, a team, or your family, this plan helps organize priorities and anchor action in purpose.

The writing strikes a rare balance: it’s both inspirational and instructional. Drawing from his experiences as an Army Ranger and young battlefield officer, the author brings powerful stories to life. These are seamlessly woven together with insights from his MBA studies, time at Keller Williams Realty International, and his journey as a serial entrepreneur. The result is a book that doesn’t just talk about leadership—it models it.

I’d recommend The Steady Leader to anyone looking to level up their leadership—from parents to team managers, from entrepreneurs to C-suite executives. This is more than a book; it’s a guide for becoming the kind of leader people choose to follow.
