Leading at the Speed of People
Stop rushing. Start connecting. Build teams that actually work.
You're moving fast. Your team isn't keeping up. Despite your best efforts, people seem confused, resistant, or just checked out.
The problem isn't your people. It's your pace.
Real leadership doesn't happen at the speed of business. It happens at the speed of human connection. And when you try to force change faster than people can process it, you lose trust, engagement, and results.
Lead With Respect, Not Just Results
This book shows you how to build leadership strategies that work with people, not against them. You'll get practical frameworks for navigating change, building trust, and leading teams through complexity without burning them out.
No fluff. No corporate jargon. Just real strategies from someone who's been in the trenches and knows what actually works when you're leading real people through real challenges.

"Dr. Donley couples the relationship between practical, real-life leadership experiences with solid, researched scholarly theories in a very reasonable manner. I recommend this book for new leaders and for those leaders who need a 'boost' or a refresh. It is a good read and provides a few laughs rather, I laughed at myself as I recalled several leadership experiences similar to those expressed!"
