I Don't Know -- What Do You Think?: How One Leader Learned to Lead Like Jim

By Lucas McAlpin

What if your greatest leadership move...was stepping back?

Simon was a boss in control, until control wasn't enough.

When a valued team member walked out on him, Simon had two choices: double down on fear or lean into something far more uncomfortable. Real leadership.

In this unforgettable leadership fable, I Don't Know, What Do You Think? follows Simon's transformation from command-and-control to coach-and-trust. Guided by an old mentor named Jim and challenged by a team that's smarter than he ever gave them credit for, Simon learns that leading well has less to do with having all the answers and everything to do with making space for others to grow.

This story isn't about perfection. It's about presence. About making mistakes, owning them out loud, and rebuilding trust where there used to be control.

You'll walk away with:

The 7 words that will change how you lead any teamWhat to say when you don't have the answersWhy vulnerability is influence, not weaknessA practical framework to lead like Jim

If you've ever felt the pressure to perform, the fear of letting go, or the quiet voice saying "there has to be a better way," this book is for you.

Lead like Jim. Or better yet, lead like the leader you're becoming.
