The Old Rules of Leadership Are Broken
Most leadership books tell you to take charge and command the room. But what if the most effective leaders do the opposite?
In Lead Last, Marine Corps officer and award-winning author Olaolu Ogunyemi reveals twenty-one counterintuitive principles that challenge conventional wisdom and drive real, measurable results. Drawing from over a decade of experience leading high-performing teams, he offers a refreshing blueprint rooted in servant leadership, emotional intelligence, and long-term vision.
You’ll learn how to build resilient teams, make bold decisions without sacrificing trust, and master the “Who’s Next?” principle for establishing a legacy of mentorship that ensures your leadership outlasts you.
Whether you’re a CEO, entrepreneur, educator, or emerging leader, this concise, actionable guide will encourage you to lead with influence, not just authority.
