Description

Are you tired of seeing the solution, but lacking the formal authority to make it happen? Do you carry the responsibility for outcomes while someone else gets the credit? In today's complex organizations, the old rulebook of leadership is obsolete. Real impact no longer comes from a title or a position on the org chart; it comes from the ability to lead, influence, and deliver results when no one has to follow you. The people who truly move organizations forward are the ones leading from the middle, the margins, and the trenches. Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience in high-stakes Army intelligence and cyber operations, Brian D. Matthews provides a battle-tested playbook for the informal leaders, project managers, and high-performers who are tired of waiting for permission to make a difference. This is not another book on management theory. This is a practical guide for leading in the dark.
