Amazon Best Seller!
Those who say leadership is easy, are probably doing it wrong.
Leadership isn’t a destination to arrive at; it is a journey filled with ups and downs, twists and turns where only the courageous thrive. The most memorable leaders recognize that their new role isn’t about them, but about creating a high-performing environment and bringing out the best in their team members.
After being tagged numerous times for leadership roles based on nothing more than a tireless work ethic and obsessive focus on being dependable, Shaina discovered early on that leadership isn’t just about technical excellence – it’s about something deeper.
In her mission to uncover the secrets of effective leadership, Shaina spent two decades studying what it means to lead people from a practical perspective. Now, she’s ready to share the 11 transformative habits that lay the groundwork for successful leadership.
This quick, easy-to-read book will take you on a journey where your path becomes clearer, the challenges more conquerable, and the rewards infinitely greater. Each page reveals a new insight, a modern perspective, and a chance to reflect on where you are and where you want to go.
Leading People Is Hard. It Can Be Easier. This Book Will Help!
This is a fantastic resource for a new or experienced people leader! I plan to share this book with a few colleagues as well as use it for the basis of a leadership development program.

82% of new managers/leaders are given NO formal training after being promoted. If you do nothing else for those people than get them this book, they will be far better off! This isn’t just a “nice to have”, it is a MUST for all leaders – not just those who are new.
Grace Gavin
Easy read packed with great insights and funny stories. Great gift for a new leader, graduate, or co-worker.
Rebecca Spahr
This book is an essential guide for anyone looking to learn more about leadership and grow in their careers. It’s short, to the point, and practical. Shaina doesn’t fill the book with fluff about the theory of leadership, everything is from direct experience or engaging stories to help you understand the concept and how to apply it.
Chris Wong
I’m halfway through this book but can already tell how good this book is to improving yourself as a leader. I’ve had many leadership roles over the years and I find myself reflecting on a few things I don’t do and some I could do better as I read this book. This is a book you will keep coming back to as a guide. Easy to read, easy to follow, and packed with helpful information! The author is relatable and not someone who is disconnected from everyday people.
