Product Information
Product Description
Your team doesn't need another manager. They need a coach.The old model of leadership is collapsing: command and control, top-down authority, the heroic leader with all the answers. The results are everywhere. Burnout, turnover, disengagement, and mission drift. Working harder isn't the answer. Leading differently is.In Next Level Leader, Chris Lambert reveals the single most important shift any leader can make: the move from manager to coach. Drawing on years of developing mission-driven organizations, he offers not just inspiration, but the actual infrastructure (the frameworks, tools, and rhythms) that makes coaching leadership sustainable, scalable, and transformational.This is leadership built to last. Instead of creating dependents who need you for every decision, you'll develop capable people who think, grow, and lead on their own. Instead of holding everything together through sheer effort, you'll build a culture that sustains itself and multiplies leaders long after you're gone.Inside, you'll discover how to:Master the balance of declaration and discovery: knowing when to lead with conviction and when to draw out the wisdom already in your teamBuild the coaching infrastructure that creates clarity, accountability, and alignmentEstablish sustainable rhythms, like weekly one-on-ones and quarterly deep-dives, that build trust and accelerate growthBalance high challenge with high affirmation so people feel both supported and stretchedCoach not just for skill, but for motivation, mindset, and the soul of your teamCast vision and drive results without sacrificing the people who deliver themAt the heart of the book is a simple but powerful idea. The best organizational leaders integrate both sports and executive coaching, knowing when to declare with conviction, when to hold space for discovery, and how to navigate the difference.With a foreword by Jim Brown, author of The Imperfect Board Member and The Imperfect CEO, Next Level Leader is a practical, human-centered guide for anyone ready to stop managing and start multiplying.Because the goal isn't just to lead. It's to build something that lasts. And someone who does, too.Are you ready to take your leadership to the next level? Read more
