It’s not theory, it’s a toolkit. You’ll get original frameworks like the Resilience Stack™, Legacy Loop™, and Crisis to Clarity Checklist™ to lead with impact immediately.
Both. Whether you’re leading a startup or a multinational, these frameworks scale to your context. If you lead people, you can apply them.
