Description



Book Synopsis



Ever feel like your team is torn between holding onto core principles and constantly adapting to new challenges? Pillars & Walls tackles that exact dilemma-showing you how to stay rooted in what really matters while staying open to the changes your environment demands.

  • Pillars are your non-negotiable values-the unshakable foundations that define who you are.
  • Walls are your adaptable processes-the policies, workflows, and structures you can tear down, renovate, or rebuild when it's time to pivot.

Drawing on real-life stories-from scrappy tech startups to compassionate nonprofits to forward-thinking schools-this book offers a down-to-earth look at how teams protect their core identity (the pillars) without getting stuck in outdated methods (the walls). Along the way, you'll discover:

  • Simple ways to pinpoint your true pillars, so every decision aligns with your core values
  • Practical tips for auditing and improving your day-to-day processes without causing chaos
  • Tales of how others balanced stability and agility to build lasting success

Told in a warm, conversational style, Pillars & Walls is packed with insights you can start applying right away-no jargon, no complex theories. If you want an organization that's both deeply authentic and unafraid to adapt, this might be the friendly blueprint you've been looking for. Grab a coffee, settle in, and get ready to build something that lasts.

Beyond Leadership Theory

Pillars & Walls is the first leadership book I’ve read in a long time that felt like real life instead of theory. It doesn’t pretend leadership happens in calm meetings with perfect agendas but actually dives into the real mess of politics, power plays, unspoken rules, and the people who either hold everything together or quietly slow things down. If you’ve worked in schools, nonprofits, or any “mission-driven” place, a lot of it will feel uncomfortably familiar. The Pillars & Walls framework and reflection questions give you simple language to describe what’s really happening on your team and to think about who you want to be in the middle of it. I’ve already caught myself using phrases from the book at work. If you’re over fluffy leadership books that ignore how messy organizations really are, read this. Five stars.
