A groundbreaking approach to transforming the hidden influences of your childhood into your unique and extraordinary leadership style.
What if the path to achieving your full leadership potential wasn’t in a business school classroom, but in your childhood home? Veteran executive coach Pam Manfredo Curtis, PhD, brings the therapist’s couch to the corner office, revealing how your earliest experiences are the most significant predictor of your leadership style.
This groundbreaking book guides you on a revelatory journey into your past.

Drawing on decades of experience coaching the world’s most influential CEOs and executives, Manfredo Curtis moves beyond theory, providing powerful, actionable tools to help you identify and overcome personal blocks, have truly authentic conversations, and foster psychological safety within your teams.
