Our Book

The world of work has changed. Leadership must evolve with it.


Meet our lead authors, Nancy Dewar, Drew Munro, and Kim Rowan. Here's what they have to say about Lead for Growth:

We wrote this book in response to a fundamental shift in how work happens - and what people need from their leaders and coaches. Today, leadership is no longer just about driving results. It’s about cultivating high-performance cultures where individuals and teams don’t just perform - they thrive. How leaders connect, communicate, and develop others has never mattered more. That’s why coaching is no longer optional - it’s essential. This book is for leaders who want to help their teams grow through curiosity, meaningful dialogue, and true partnership - and for professional coaches committed to deepening their practice. Through authentic case stories and insights from experienced coaches, you’ll find practical tools and approaches to elevate your impact. We invite you to read with intention, experiment with the tools, and apply what you learn - so that growth becomes part of how work happens every day.
