Leadership Drift | The Silent Unraveling of Capable Leaders | Pre-Order

What happens when capable leaders begin to lose access to their best leadership under pressure?

Leadership Drift: The Silent Unraveling of Capable Leaders explores the gradual, often invisible shift away from conscious and balanced leadership. Under sustained pressure, strengths can quietly become extremes—control replaces trust, confidence overshadows humility, empathy weakens accountability, and vision loses touch with execution.

Drawing on decades of experience working with senior leaders, Marut Bhardwaj introduces the Window of Equilibrium, six drift archetypes, and twelve critical leadership tensions to help leaders recognise their patterns, understand their impact, and return to their centre.

Practical, insightful, and deeply relevant for leaders, executives, founders, managers, coaches, and HR professionals, this book offers a powerful framework for staying effective when leadership becomes most demanding.

Because leadership maturity is not the absence of drift—it is the ability to recognise it and return.
