Description
Old-school leadership taught us to be warriors. Keep control. Show no weakness. Push harder. Be tough. And while that approach may have produced short-term wins, it has also created long-term damage, burnout, disengaged teams, and quiet cultures where people no longer speak up. From Warrior to Leader is written for high-performing leaders who know that something isn’t working but don’t know what to change.
In this compelling eBook, Scott De Long, Ph.D., shares the shift he made in his own leadership, from a tough, results-at-all-costs mindset to a model that prioritizes trust, connection, and respect. He introduces Principled Leadership, a framework built on humility, empathy, and vulnerability, not as soft skills, but as serious advantages in today’s workplace.
You’ll learn why leading with control backfires, why toughness without empathy creates emotional distance, and how real strength is found in relationships, not rules. The book offers practical ways to engage your team without micromanaging, to set a high bar without breaking people down, and to go first in creating psychological safety.
If you’re ready to drop the armor and start leading from a place of purpose, this eBook will show you how. It’s not about losing your edge, it’s about using it differently. The modern workforce doesn’t want more warriors. They want leaders. This is your roadmap to becoming one.
