RESOURCES FOR LEADERS
Take Leading in the Gray from reading to practice.
Leading in the Gray was designed to create conversations—not simply be read and placed on a shelf.
The Leading in the Gray Team Study Guide gives leadership teams a practical way to read the book together, discuss real leadership challenges, and put the ideas into practice.
WHAT'S INSIDE THE GUIDE
A practical framework for developing leaders together.
The Leading in the Gray Team Study Guide turns the ideas in the book into structured conversations your leadership team can use together.
Designed for leadership teams, cohorts, and professional learning groups, the guide provides everything a facilitator needs to lead meaningful conversations without creating a program from scratch.

Build Stronger Leaders Through Better Conversations.
The first 90 days of leadership are filled with questions, uncertainty, and opportunities to build trust.
The Your First 90 Days of Leadership — Leadership Partnership Discussion Guide is designed to help new leaders and their sponsoring leaders navigate those important first months together.
Built around the book's 13-week framework, this free companion guide provides structured weekly conversations, reflection questions, shared commitments, and checkpoints at Days 30, 60, and 90.
It's not just about helping a new leader succeed. It's about strengthening the partnership between the leader and the person responsible for developing them.
Because leaders aren't found. They're formed.
Available in English and Spanish.
