Don't Wait, Lead Now: Story-Driven Lessons for Coaches, Managers & Parents

by Jim Lord

Available for 4 days. Available until 10/19/2026.

Kirkus Reviews: GET IT. “A sharp, worthwhile, story-driven guide that explores energetic corporate leadership.” Most leadership books hand you a framework. This one hands you a story — then a punch you can use the same day. Don’t Wait, Lead Now is a short toolbox of first-person leadership stories from a dad and a manager. Coaches, teachers, new managers, executives, and parents who are tired of slogan decks will recognize the situations: feedback that lands wrong, the hire you rush, the meeting that needs one more push-up of effort. Inside: • Story first, then the lesson short enough to finish in a sitting • Situations you already live: hire slow / fire fast, inspect what you expect, speak from the heart, alignment over agreement • No McKinsey deck. No guru pose. Casual, self-deprecating, usable at work and at home • Formats: paperback, hardcover, Kindle ($0.99), and audiobook (Matthew Spaur) Readers rate it 4.9 stars. If people already look to you for direction, start here. Don’t wait. Lead now.
