Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up

Jerry Colonna · HarperBusiness Paid Advanced

From the startup world's most in-demand executive coach, this book makes the case that radical self-inquiry, examining the patterns that drove your success but now hurt you, is essential to leading well without breaking.

  • The psychological habits that made you successful can quietly sabotage your well-being and relationships
  • Radical self-inquiry is a leadership skill, not therapy indulgence
  • Coaching gives founders a confidential space to process what they can't share with team or investors
  • Work does not have to destroy us, but only if we examine ourselves honestly

It answers 2 questions

  1. Should I get a therapist or coach as a founder, and does it actually help?
  2. How do I cope with the crushing loneliness and pressure of being a founder?
