The Upside Down Leader

Leadership doesn’t fall apart all at once. It drifts. Pressure builds. Communication slips. Good intentions turn into chaos, control, or isolation. That’s the Upside Down.

The Upside Down Leader is a practical and deeply human guide for leaders who sense something is off but can’t quite name it. Drawing from real stories, hard lessons, and years of working with leaders in high-stakes environments, billy explores how fear, ego, and unexamined habits quietly pill leaders out of alignment.
