I think this is a great working title. I also think it may benefit from having a submit that makes the connection between hosting and leadership.

@Robbin Hudson be sure to test your idea against these five questions: 1. The Specific Who: Does this book solve a problem for a person who has the budget to hire me at my highest level? (e.g., CEO vs. entry-level intern) 2. The "Bleeding Neck" Problem: Does this book solve a problem that they need fixed right now, or is it just a "nice to have?" 3. The $15k Bridge: Is there a natural path for the reader to go from a $20 book to a $15,000 service or program? (If the book is the "What," is your agency the "How"?) 4. The 1-Sentence Transformation: Can you explain the result of this book in one sentence? (e.g., "I help consultants write a book that generates 5 high-ticket leads a month.") 5. The "Unique Mechanism": Do you have a framework or a process that is different from what everyone else is saying? (Even if it’s just a unique name for your method).

Oh Wee! Leadership books are always a hot topic. Here are some market insights for you to consider. The leadership book market in 2025–2026 is undergoing a significant shift, moving away from traditional "top-down" management theories toward human-centered and tech-integrated leadership. While the broader professional book sector has seen a slight revenue dip (down about 7.9% in early 2025), it remains a multi-billion dollar pillar of the publishing industry, driven by a growing demand for "lifelong learning." 1. Market Dynamics & Key Statistics - Sector Performance: In 2025, professional books (including business and leadership) generated roughly $1.4 billion in the U.S. alone. - Format Shifts: While print still commands high preference, audiobooks and digital formats are the primary growth drivers. Audiobooks in the business category are increasingly popular as leaders consume content during "dead time" (commutes, exercise). - The "Self-Help" crossover: The strongest performing nonfiction category is currently Self-Help (up 16.1%), which has heavily bled into leadership. Many of today’s "leadership" bestsellers are essentially personal development books framed for the workplace. 2. Dominant Themes (2025–2026) The "hot" topics currently driving sales and new releases include: - Human-Centric & Soft Skills: There is a massive surge in books focusing on empathy, vulnerability, and psychological safety. Titles by authors like Brené Brown and Kim Scott continue to dominate because they treat leadership as a social-emotional skill rather than a technical one. - The AI-Augmented Leader: A new sub-genre has emerged focusing on "AI Fluency." These books don't teach coding; they teach leaders how to maintain ethical standards, human judgment, and team morale in an increasingly automated workplace. - Resilience & Uncertainty: Following years of global volatility, there is high demand for "VUCA" (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) leadership frameworks. These books focus on mental toughness and adaptive strategy. - Hybrid & Remote Culture: As of 2026, companies are still navigating the "Return to Office" vs. "Remote" tension. Books that provide practical blueprints for building culture across digital distances are highly sought after.

Welcome Robbin, I'm excited for you to write your book!
