The Leader I Needed Is the Leader I Became
Leadership Is Not Neutral.
A memoir on leadership, healing and the cost of caring without protection
From burnout to boundaries: what healthcare leaders must learn to keep their people.
Rashonbah's story begins in a hospital bed as a child and moves through bedside nursing, motherhood and healthcare executive leadership. The book traces what she learned in each of those rooms about compassion, emotional safety and what leadership does to the people who receive it.
Leadership is not neutral. It either builds people or it breaks them.
The companion workbook is available now on Amazon. It turns the leadership ideas in these pages into guided reflection and practical exercises you can work through on your own or with a team.
