SCHEDULED RELEASE DATE: MAY 2025
In a world where organizations are asked to move faster, adapt constantly, and lead with greater purpose, many find themselves stuck - overwhelmed by complexity, weighed down by misalignment, or simply unsure where to begin.
The Flow of Five Tiers offers a new kind of clarity.
This powerful, story-driven book introduces a framework that helps leaders and practitioners make sense of their organizational challenges - not by rushing toward quick fixes, but by guiding them through five interconnected tiers that shape every organization: Foundational Core, Leadership & Strategy, Culture & People, Processes & Systems, and Impact & Outcomes.
Drawing from years of consulting, leadership coaching, and real-world experience inside public, private, nonprofit, and tribal organizations, this book doesn’t just diagnose problems - it provides a structure for sustainable progress. Each chapter blends compelling storytelling with practical insight, inviting readers to reflect, realign, and rebuild with intention.
Whether you're navigating a major transformation, developing future leaders, or simply trying to reduce the friction in daily operations, The Flow of Five Tiers gives you the tools and language to do the work with depth and direction.
You won’t find recycled jargon or one-size-fits-all solutions here. What you will find is a thoughtful framework designed to meet organizations where they are - and help them move, together, toward what’s next.
