Is This the Way it's Supposed to Be?: Lessons in Leadership and Lived Experiences

By Loretta A Howard PhD and Undraye P Howard PhD

Forget the usual leadership how-to guides. This book cuts through quick-fix formulas to offer a deeper look at how great leaders adapt and thrive when everything around them is up in the air.

Drawing from research, lived experience, and the stories of leaders who've defied the old play book, the authors reveal why real influence is about shifting mindsets-not just barking orders.

Their own partnership is proof that timing and readiness mean more than luck or connections; when the right people come together at the right moment, extraordinary things happen. Inside, you'll find eye-opening questions and fresh perspectives designed for leaders at every stage, from seasoned executives to those just getting started.

More than a manual, it's an invitation to rethink what leadership really means-and to shape the future by asking better questions, not just seeking easy answers. Each chapter begins with a story from the authors' lives, grounding essential lessons in personal experience while pointing readers toward the new, more powerful ways to lead when the rules keep changing.
