The title seems unprofessional. Can I actually use this with my team?

The title uses language your team already uses, and what the manager may have used while they were junior. It’s the language frustrated employees use behind closed doors. This book addresses that reality head-on, without corporate jargon or pretence. It's deliberately provocative because it gets to the point.

How long is the book?

Deliberately concise. Each chapter takes 10-15 minutes to read. You can finish the whole book in 2-3 hours, but it's designed to be a reference you come back to when specific situations arise.

Is this suitable for new managers?

Yes. Especially new managers. The earlier you understand how your behaviour impacts others, the better. But experienced managers get value too — we all have blind spots that develop over time.

Can I buy multiple copies for my team?

Absolutely. Many organisations buy copies for their management teams as a shared reference point for discussing leadership and behaviour at work.

What's the shipping time?

Books are printed to order, so while there’s an aim to deliver within 2-weeks, they have been known to take 4-6 weeks.

Is this a replacement for leadership development?

No. This is a reflection tool. It builds awareness, not complete alignment. Use it alongside coaching, assessments, or development programs — not instead of them.
