Overview

How not to be a shit leader

A brutally honest guide to leadership behaviour, accountability, and impact

Most people don't quit their jobs.
They quit their leaders.

How not to be a shit leader is a sharp, no-nonsense examination of the everyday behaviours that quietly destroy trust, momentum, and teams, often without leaders even realising it.

This is not a feel-good leadership book. It doesn't offer slogans, personality tests, or inspirational platitudes.

Instead, it names the habits leaders avoid owning:

  • Indecision disguised as "being thoughtful"

  • Control masked as high standards

  • Silence framed as strategy

  • Ego dressed up as confidence

  • Accountability pushed downward instead of taken upward

If you're willing to look honestly at how your behaviour lands, not just your intent, this book will challenge you in the ways leadership actually demands.

You'll learn:

  • Why disengagement is often a predictable response to leadership behaviour

  • How leaders unintentionally train dependence, hesitation, and compliance

  • What psychological safety really is (and what it isn't)

  • How to create ownership without micromanaging

  • Why fairness, clarity, and follow-through matter more than motivation

  • How small leadership habits compound into culture, for better or worse

This book is written for leaders under pressure:
Managers, executives, team leads, and emerging leaders who want to do better, not perform better.

It's practical.
It's direct.
And it respects your intelligence.

No bullshit.
No buzzwords.
No corporate theatre.

Just a clear mirror and a better way forward.

Because leadership isn't about being perfect.
It's about owning your impact and choosing to do less harm and more good, every day.

If your team won't make a decision without you, that's not leadership.
That's dependence you trained into them.

This book shows you how to stop.
