The Lovable Leader
Our culture of work makes it too easy to lean on authority and fear — but we don’t have to. This practical handbook is designed for new managers to learn how to lead people with trust, respect, and kindness.
This book is for anyone who would call themselves a leader, but most importantly, for those who are just beginning their leadership career, and who want to be part of a dramatic shift in our culture of work.

Reviews & Endorsements
Our society is in desperate need of new models of leadership, and The Lovable Leader is an incredible guide for emerging or current leaders to reach their fullest potential.
It provides clear values, communication tips, conflict resolution scripts, and digestible psychology to create the care, trust, safety, and inclusion that’s the glue for creating work environments where we all thrive and achieve status-quo breaking goals.
I recommend this book to any individual who wants to leave behind the destructive narratives of old school leadership to become a leader people love and are inspired by, not just in title, but in practice and purpose.

The Lovable Leader is the book I wish every new manager read before their first day.
Jeff Gibbard provides the complete set of tools that leaders need to build effective and collaborative teams, and the book is rich with both practical frameworks and clear examples.
Unlike many leadership books that focus exclusively on goals and results, I appreciate how this book takes the time to highlight safety, care, trust, and inclusion as critical aspects of effective leadership.

Not only does it address the responsibilities of leadership such as goal setting and strategy, but provides clear instructions about how to manage people, not as tools of the organization but as individuals worthy of care and respect.
It’s the handbook every new manager should have on their desk.
He pulls back the veil to clear up any confusion between leadership skill and leadership behavior, and shows us the mindset change needed to become great leaders.
This book is ideal for leaders who recognize that being a great leader starts with accessing what makes us great humans.
The Lovable Leader isn’t just a book you’ll read, but an actionable guide filled with frameworks, wisdom, practical advice, and heart.
Jeff Gibbard shows us that the answer lies in being a part of your team, not above them.
