About the book

Why this book exists

Leadership training comes in every shape. Courses, seminars and workshops each bring their own theories, models and frameworks, and they rarely line up. The ideas are good. Finding the right one when a hard conversation or a high-pressure decision lands in front of you is the hard part.

Tactical Leadership Companion brings the best-known models together in one easy-to-reference book. Each one is credited to the people who created it, then explained in plain words with fresh, practical examples, so the right tool can be found quickly when it is needed.

Dip in before the difficult conversation. Come back when the pressure is on.
