The New Leader’s Roadmap

Josh and Bob get real about what happens when leadership lands in your lap—whether you asked for it or not. From “org charts on chairs” to the harsh reality of being the single ringable neck, they break down the mistakes, lessons, and turning points that define the journey from individual contributor to leader.

They share personal stories of micromanaging gone wrong, learning the hard way about delegation, discovering that the true job of a leader is helping others succeed, and the uncomfortable truth that stepping into leadership often means bucking the system around you.

This is an honest, unfiltered roadmap for anyone thrust into leadership, complete with hard-earned wisdom on humility, self-care, finding mentors, and building the leadership style you aspire to—before it’s too late.
