In Pursuit of Finding ME: A Practitioner’s Reckoning with Leadership, Authority, and Consequence

In Pursuit of Finding MEA practitioner's reckoning with leadershipYou got the role. You got the team. You got the comp. And somewhere along the way, you stopped recognising the person doing the job.If that lands, this book is for you.Twenty years into a career in delivery, technology and team leadership, I started writing about the parts of the role nobody brings up at the offsite. The doubt. The cost of ambition. The slow distance that grows between the title you carry and the person you actually are. The decisions that follow you home long after the meeting has ended.In Pursuit of Finding ME is not a leadership manual. There is no five-step model in here, no maturity matrix, no promise that you will fix everything by chapter seven. It is a book about what is left when you take the title off, and whether you still recognise it.Read this if you are: - A manager running on fumes and pretending you are not- An executive starting to wonder what you have actually built- A practitioner trying to keep your ambition and your values in the same room- A newer leader looking for a steadier place to stand than the one your job description offersInside the book: The mask of authority. How a professional identity slowly hardens over your real one, and what it takes to hear your own voice again.The weight of consequence. Why the decisions you make at work outlive the meetings they were made in.The practitioner's path. Lessons drawn from doing the work, not theorising about it. Some are uncomfortable. None are clean.The ME in leadership. Holding your values and your responsibilities in the same hand without dropping either one.Leadership is not the title on your business card. It is the person you become while you carry it.If you have been doing this work long enough to feel that, this book was written for you.
