THE BOOK
Do you feel disconnected from your people? Are you in too many meetings and feel overwhelmed with emails and requests for clarification from your Direct Reports? This lack of clarity, accountability, and authority can impact your business in so many ways and the way you work might help you realize the strategy, or get in the way of it. Do you even know what the strategy really is, and how to get there? All of this confusion and discord can be traced to a lack of managerial leadership. The art of managing managers has been lost to the need to be seen "being busy". This is made doubly difficult with newly remote workforces and dispersed teams.
Based on experiences from working with many large and small companies, and a 30-year career as a senior military officer, Julian Chapman demonstrates the power of managerial leadership to address and cure the root causes of the pain we feel in organizations and create great places to work. Under Julian's leadership and counsel, companies of all sizes and across many sectors have done the work to bring clarity of purpose, expectation and accountability to their people, and unleashed the potential of their organizations.
This pragmatic approach pulls no punches and shows you the ongoing path to a workplace where employees at all levels have clarity of role, purpose, accountabilities and authorities. The self-assessments and tools inside will help you sort out the work ahead of you. It will show you the value of thinking before acting, proper planning, working at the right level and holding people accountable. It introduces the power of the Enlightened Leader and the Engaged Manager who confidently and continuously build their teams with an approach of authenticity, transformation and servitude.

Managing the Maelstrom
During the very uncertain days of March 2020, Forrest & Company President Julian Chapman emailed a select group of clients to remind them of the importance of visible and clear leadership in times of tension and confusion. That email grew into a weekly missive to a growing number of leaders worldwide, expanding into exploring trends in organizations and providing timely reflections and observations on both business affairs and current events. These bite-sized insights have proven helpful and interesting to many organizational leaders over the intervening years.
Now in its fourth year, Managing the Maelstrom addresses these trends, observations, and principles every Friday via
Forrest & Company's LinkedIn Page; earlier entries are available for download below.
