Book Title:Uncharted Leadership: Navigating Disruption Without a Map

Author:Katie Sheketoff

Published:2026

How is your book helping others?

The leadership frameworks that served us for decades were written for a world that no longer exists. That world of certainty is gone, and the frameworks built for it are failing people at work, at home, and in their communities. "Uncharted Leadership" starts from a different premise: disruption isn't a phase we're passing through. It's the permanent condition we're leading in. Drawing on 20 years of leadership development work, including award-winning programs that reached 30,000 leaders at Marriott International, Katie Sheketoff distilled what actually works into three waypoints. Awareness: cultivating knowledge of yourself and your surroundings. Alliance: building relationships across boundaries that foster trust, abundance, and mutual growth. Action: taking ownership of incremental changes that add up to radical progress.

The book helps leaders at every level find meaning, build connection, and move forward without a map.
