The Still Point
Mastering Time, Attention, and Emotion
This page supports the book, not the other way around.
The Still Point is the first published work in the Legacy Leader series. It explores the inner conditions that make steady, trustworthy leadership possible when pressure is constant and consequences are real.
The book stands on its own.
This page exists to help situate it within the larger body of work.
What this book is about
The Still Point examines leadership at the point where motion and stillness meet.
Rather than focusing on tactics, performance, or visibility, the book looks inward, at how leaders regulate themselves under pressure and how that internal state quietly shapes the systems and people around them.
It explores themes such as:
Presence and attention under strain
Emotional regulation and energy stewardship
Boundaries and responsibility
Pace, rhythm, and alignment over time
The central idea is simple but demanding: the steadiness of a leader becomes the steadiness of what they lead.
Who this book is for
This book is written for people who:
Carry responsibility that does not turn off at the end of the day
Lead teams, systems, or organizations where pressure is constant
Feel the cumulative cost of reactivity, speed, or unresolved tension
Want to lead in a way that is steady, human, and sustainable
If you are looking for quick fixes or motivational techniques, this book will likely feel slow.
If you are looking to understand how your inner state shapes your leadership impact, it will likely feel familiar.
How this book fits within Legacy Leader
Legacy Leader is a long-form body of work exploring leadership as it is actually lived.
The Still Point begins that exploration at the most fundamental level: the leader’s internal posture.
Later works in the series move outward into areas such as team leadership, trust, decision making, and repair. Each volume can be read independently. There is no required order.
