Hello Reader,

Leadership Is Broken


A Three-Part Series on the State of Leadership

We need to acknowledge that leadership is broken. Across industries, institutions, and nations, confidence in leadership has dropped sharply. Trust is low. Belief is broken. People are worn out. Why?

Why Building in Public Is Part of the System

You’re looking at something unfinished. Not because it’s broken. Not because we’re unprepared. But because we chose to build it in full view, before it’s glossy, before it’s perfect, before it’s “ready.”


Leadership Without Accountability Isn’t Leadership

We’ve confused visibility with competence, mistaken charm for character, and let influence take the place of integrity. In the space created by those errors, accountability disappeared.

The Canon Isn’t a Metaphor — It’s a Standard

Leadership is broken when standards are forgotten. The Canon exists to fix that. It’s not a metaphor. It’s not a concept. It’s the backbone of this movement.

If this sounds like you, you belong here:

You’re wired to fix what’s broken, and leadership is your arena.

You don’t just repair surface cracks; you rebuild systems with higher standards, sharper strategies, and unshakable truths.

You see what others ignore.

Your edge is your differentiator. You weren’t meant to blend in. You rattle cages, challenge norms, and raise expectations.

You give a damn about people, about results, and about doing the right thing, even when it’s hard.

You don’t second-guess your authority; you stand in it.

You don’t dilute your message; you deliver it with conviction.

Integrity isn’t optional; it’s required.

Power with integrity doesn’t make you dangerous; it makes you essential.

You’re here to restore integrity to leadership.

Not quietly. Not passively.

Loudly. Boldly.

And with the kind of love that demands more from everyone, especially yourself.

Hello Reader, Insecure Leaders Need You to Doubt Yourself from Reflections on Leadership People misunderstand power. They assume the loudest voice in the room is the strongest and confuse confidence with control. They think leadership is being the smartest, the best, or the most unflinching presence on the org chart. Continue reading → You feel you should be further ahead.
