Overview
What if leadership was like laundry?
Left unchecked, it wrinkles, fades, and collects stains that are harder to remove over time. Unkept Leadership: The Neglected Topics invites you to take a good look at what’s piling up in your leadership basket—and offers the tools to sort, wash, and refresh the way you lead.
This book doesn’t chase perfection. Instead, it spotlights the subtle, often overlooked traits that quietly unravel teams and corrode culture.
Through a mix of psychological insight and lived experience, you’ll uncover the invisible grime—neglected communication, strained relationships, unmet responsibilities—that clings to even the most well-meaning leaders.
Think of it as a style guide for the soul of your leadership: practical, self-aware, and deeply human.
You’ll walk away with bite-sized insights that pack a punch—equipping you to spot the warning signs, act with clarity, and course-correct before dysfunction sets in.
Leadership isn’t about staying flawless. It’s about noticing the lint, the buildup, the signs and traits of neglect, and caring enough to clean them up.
If you’re ready to lead with intention, resilience, and just the right amount of detergent, Unkept Leadership: The Neglected Topics is your next read and curriculum addition to any leadership training.
Description
“There is nothing new under the sun; history merely repeats itself. It has all been done before.” — King Solomon
If that’s true, why do we keep stumbling over the same leadership missteps, decade after decade?
Unkept Leadership: The Neglected Topics takes that age-old wisdom and flips it inside out, challenging leaders to examine themselves through a fresh, practical lens.
Rooted in the idea that life itself is our best teacher, this book suggests that leadership isn’t built from titles or tidy step-by-step formulas—it’s woven from the lived experiences, hard-won lessons, and quiet reflections that shape our character.
Drawing vivid parallels between personal traits and wardrobe essentials, you’re invited to inspect your leadership like you would your favorite outfit.
Are there unnoticed stains? Loose threads of neglect?
The way you show up matters, and this book makes a bold case for checking your neglectful character traits before stepping out into the world of relationships, teams, and influence.
Inside these pages, you’ll explore the heart of leadership through:
- Self-reflection
- Personal accountability
- Consistent communication
- Authentic engagement
This isn’t about achieving perfection or following another numbered list of steps. It’s about doing the inner work that keeps you from becoming Unkept.
In today’s evolving work environment—multi-generational, fast-paced, emotionally charged—leaders must adapt with authenticity, vulnerability, and the courage to evolve.
This book doesn’t offer you something “new”—instead, it helps you finally see what’s already there, underneath the dust of outdated leadership models.
You’ll discover a clear framework that breaks down leaders into four types:
- Well-Kept
- Smudged
- Dingy
- Unkept
Because stains don’t appear overnight—and neither does dysfunction. The longer we ignore what’s fading, fraying, or wearing thin, the harder it becomes to repair.
So here’s your call to action: Read the book. React. Reflect. Re-wash. And then Repeat what helps you to Stay Well-kept.
