Glaze, drawing on his background as a basketball coach and leadership facilitator, crafts a story centered on Jenn, a newly promoted manager facing the familiar challenges of earning respect and confidence in her new role. Instead of turning to traditional leadership resources, Jenn gains valuable insights from Tony, a plumber whose guidance comes during a series of casual coffee meetings. This narrative approach combines relatable storytelling with direct applications for leadership growth, making the lessons accessible and immediately usable.
The book outlines four main concepts aimed at improving leadership effectiveness: the Ladder of Awareness to uncover root causes of issues, the Assumption to Question model to challenge existing beliefs, the Evolution of Focus to identify meaningful priorities, and the Steps to Confidence framework for overcoming challenges. These tools are presented as straightforward models that managers can implement in daily practice, reinforcing the idea that leadership improvement stems from heightened awareness rather than experience alone.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Available for pre-order on Amazon for $2.99 ahead of its June 12 release, What Effective Leaders DO (affiliate link) will also be offered in audiobook, paperback, and hardcover formats. Organizations can take advantage of bulk order discounts and related workshop materials through Glaze’s Great Results Team Building platform. Designed for leadership development programs and onboarding processes, the book blends entertainment with education, serving as both a practical playbook and a wake-up call for managers striving to lead more effectively.
