The Book

Good Authority

How to Become the Leader Your Team Is Waiting For

Good Authority is for anyone who's ever felt stuck, confused, or exhausted by their role as a leader. It's for managers who want to stop performing and start connecting.

The book introduces The Accountability Dial, a five-stage framework for holding people accountable with compassion. Not the watered-down kind. The kind that actually develops people.

“Required reading for anyone who wants to do more than merely manage people. Good Authority is a modern classic.”
— Seth Godin
