Liberated Leadership.

Leading a business can often feel like a bit of a trap, can’t it?

There’s that constant pressure and those sleepless nights where you’re carrying the weight of everyone’s expectations on your shoulders. It’s exhausting to go into work every day wearing a mask and trying to act the part of the “perfect leader” while your true self is tucked away somewhere behind a job title. I’ve been there, and I wrote this book because I know there’s a better way to do it.

I’ve taken everything I learnt from thirty years in the games industry—including two decades at Electronic Arts—to show what’s really going on behind the scenes for most leaders. In the book, I talk about the struggles we all face but rarely actually discuss. It’s about moving away from that heavy, traditional style of management and finding something much more human, which I call Liberated Leadership.

And when you read it, you’ll find my own story, including the mistakes I made and the challenges I faced behind closed doors. I’ve broken down the approach into seven pillars that help you lead in a way that’s actually healthy for you and your team. There is also a practical change cycle in there that you can use whenever a new problem lands on your desk. It is time to let go of the act and start leading as yourself, so pick up your copy today and see how it feels to finally work with a bit of freedom.
