How is your book helping others?
Informed Leadership helps leaders replace reactive decisions with conscious choices grounded in first principles. Drawing on more than 9,000 hours of executive coaching across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, David Ribott gives readers a clear, sequential model: four pillars (Respect, Integrity, Dignity, Empathy), the ABCs of leadership (Anti-fragile, Bold, Clear, Deliberate), and the three Ps of success (Purpose, Performance, Prosperity). The impact is practical. First-time CEOs use it to lead with clarity under pressure, senior teams use it to realign around a shared purpose, and boards use it to raise the quality of their decisions. By turning hard-won coaching insight into a framework any leader can apply, the book raises the standard of leadership, and with it the wellbeing of the people every leader is responsible for.
