Leadership Practitioner
Get a framework for building a meaningful practice of leadership.
Leadership is no longer about titles or authority—it’s a collection of practices that create conditions for people to be their best, bring their best, and do their best. It’s also a journey of discovery, growth, and impact that centers around how you choose to show up.
In The Essential Leadership Practitioner, Jonathan Rozenblit and Marlene Ziobrowski share their framework for showing up, honed from their own leadership development journeys and the leadership journeys of leaders they’ve coached in organizations of all sizes and across diverse industries.
Rather than prescribing what you should do to become a leader who creates conditions for people to be their best, bring their best, and do their best, the framework in this book guides you to discover and develop your unique practice of leadership. It will help you uncover what resonates with your values, your context, and your goals.Your journey to discover and develop your practice of leadership starts here.

Praise for The Essential Leadership Practitioner
Must-have practice over perfection leadership guide!In a world overflowing with leadership books offering quick fixes, formulaic models, and overly prescriptive methods, The Essential Leadership Practitioner stands apart — not because it shouts louder, but because it invites leaders to listen deeper. Both authors, Jonathan Rozenblit and Marlene Zibrowski, offer something rare: a grounded, radically human framework for those who want to practice leadership, not just perform it.Where most leadership books lean on theory, personality traits, or hierarchical power dynamics, The Essential Leadership Practitioner proposes leadership as a practice — a daily, evolving, and deeply personal act. Not concerned with titles or where you rank on the corporate ladder, refreshingly it reveals that a true practice of leadership thrives in moments of connection, clarity, and conscious action.Who is the ideal leader? What traits must they have? I love how the framework isn’t a one-size-fits-all checklist, it's a set of guiding principles and reflective practices that help leaders build awareness of themselves, their context, and the impact they have on others. The authors gently but firmly challenge conventional wisdom, emphasizing that leadership is not something you are, but something you do, moment by moment.Their approach makes this especially relevant in today’s complex, uncertain, and often disconnected world. From the inner to outer practices, It’s leadership designed for our times.With the old leadership playbook breaking down, the need for authentic, human-centered leadership has never been clearer — in business, communities, and the world at large. The Essential Leadership Practitioner meets this need not by offering easy answers, but by providing tools for thoughtful, courageous inquiry.For anyone who has felt disillusioned by performative leadership, hollow mission statements, or frameworks that ignore the human experience, this book feels like a breath of fresh air. It gives permission to lead differently — with integrity, presence, and deep care.If you’re ready to move beyond leadership theory and begin building a meaningful, sustainable leadership practice rooted in clarity and connection, this book belongs on your shelf — and in your hands.- Sylvana L.
