Atlanta, Georgia May 8, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - In a time when burned-out managers and disconnected teams are becoming the norm, a surprising new leadership book offers something refreshingly different: real solutions wrapped in a story you won’t forget.
“What Effective Leaders DO”, the latest release from leadership speaker and team-building facilitator Sean Glaze, isn’t your typical leadership manual - it’s a powerful parable packed with relatable challenges and actionable tools that today’s overwhelmed leaders will appreciate.
The twist? These four transformational leadership lessons don’t come from an executive coach or CEO… they come from a wise old plumber during a series of coffee conversations.
Through the eyes of Jenn, a newly promoted manager struggling to earn respect and build confidence, readers meet Tony - a plumber whose simple but profound conversations become the unexpected catalyst for her growth as a leader. It’s “Ted Lasso meets Who Moved My Cheese,” with insights leaders will want to apply the same day.
Glaze, a former basketball coach turned nationally recognized leadership speaker, is known for his interactive keynotes and practical team-building strategies. In this book, he merges decades of leadership experience with his gift for storytelling to deliver a guide that’s as entertaining as it is transformative.
“Leadership today isn’t about authority - it’s about influence of our interactions.” Glaze says. “Jenn’s journey mirrors what so many emerging and experienced managers are going through, and Tony gives them a framework to lead more confidently, without the burnout.”
Among the book’s most memorable takeaways are four core lessons Tony shares with Jenn—each offering a practical tool for real-world leadership challenges:
- The Ladder of Awareness - a model to identify root causes, not just symptoms
- Assumption to Question - a challenge to examine four types of beliefs
- The Evolution of Focus – a framework for identifying more meaningful priorities
- The Steps to Confidence - a simple path to navigate challenges boldly
Perfect for leadership development programs, onboarding new managers, or simply sharpening leadership habits, What Effective Leaders DO has been called “entertaining, empowering, and exactly what today’s managers need.” One bestselling author declared, “This is the kind of leadership book you don’t just read—you use, quote, and share.”
