Breaking Free of Dysfunction

$9.95

You built the company. You took the risk. You beat the odds. But now, instead of leading with freedom and vision, you’re stuck in the weeds. It Shouldn’t Be This Hard is for CEOs and founders who feel like they’re carrying the whole company on their backs. This book offers a clear, honest look at why leadership dysfunction happens, even in successful businesses—and what you can do to get unstuck, realign your team, and lead with purpose again.

Description

Success doesn’t always feel like success. If you’re a CEO or founder of a growing business, you might be surrounded by a capable team, solid revenue, and a good reputation, and still feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or isolated. Breaking Free of Dysfunction was written for that moment.

Scott De Long, Ph.D., pulls back the curtain on what really causes dysfunction at the top of an organization. It’s not just bad hires or unclear strategies. It’s a misalignment. It’s the silos, the second-guessing, and the subtle breakdowns in trust that slowly pull a team apart. And all too often, those problems start with the leader.

This isn’t a book about blaming, it’s about breaking free. You’ll discover how to identify your own role in the dysfunction, rebuild clarity in expectations, and create a leadership culture rooted in trust, communication, and accountability. You’ll learn how to delegate effectively, empower your team to step up, and finally create space to focus on the vision you set out to achieve.

Topics include restructuring roles, fostering psychological safety, overcoming reactive leadership habits, and designing a team that works together instead of against itself. You’ll also explore the difference between being involved and being indispensable and why letting go is often the first step to scaling up.

If you’re tired of carrying the weight of your company alone, this book will help you build the kind of team, and the kind of leadership, you always imagined.
