Leadership in Your Pocket

It usually goes like this: you’re good at your job, someone asks if you’d like to take over the team, and you say yes. From then on, it’s no longer just about your own tasks. It’s about people: tough conversations, conflict, packed calendars, and the question of how to handle it all without burning out.

Leadership in Your Pocket gives you 100 tools you can try right away, in four parts. ME: handling the role change, managing your energy, making clear decisions. YOU: understanding people, clarifying goals, giving feedback, having difficult conversations. US: building psychological safety, clarifying roles, resolving conflict. BEYOND: managing up, working across departments, leading hybrid teams, bringing new people on board.

Every chapter opens with a scene from everyday work, presents five tools grounded in research and proven practice, and ends with three steps for tomorrow. For everyone who is new to leading, and for everyone who wants to do it better.
