A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

Lead bolder, smarter, and more human—without the ego or endless theory

Quick Leadership by Selena Rezvani equips you with modern, people-first strategies for leading in today's fast-moving, fast-changing workplaces. Forget outdated, top-down management—this book is packed with real-world tips that help you build trust, boost performance, and bring out the best in your team (without burning yourself out). Selena Rezvani, a renowned leadership expert and coach, guides readers through simple, doable strategies that boost trust, inclusivity, and innovation - critical elements in a time when employees are demanding more purpose, autonomy, and respect in their work.

In Quick Leadership, Rezvani offers a wealth of insights on how to cultivate a thriving work culture. The book explores various facets of leadership, from standing up to urgency culture to building psychological safety, honing communication that connects, promoting self-ownership and accountability, and handling the hard conversations. Each chapter distills actionable, low-ego leadership advice, backed by real-world examples and ready-to-use strategies. That way, you can be the powerhouse… without the power trip.

Inside the book, readers will:

- Discover how to ditch the boss image and embrace the leader persona by deferring to your team at key moments, asking the right questions before offering solutions, and delegating in a way that empowers rather than micromanages
- Learn to speak the language of equals by choosing communication that reflects collaboration and shared ownership—so you create an environment where everyone feels valued and equal, and ideas flow more freely
- Embrace risk-taking and experimentation by creating safe spaces for trial and error and celebrating bold attempts—not just perfect outcomes—encouraging your team to innovate, learn fast, and keep pushing the envelope

Quick Leadership is especially valuable for current and aspiring leaders, HR professionals, and those shaping company strategy and culture. These readers will gain practical, no-nonsense insights from Rezvani on creating a workplace that's not just healthier but more connected and driven. Whether you're taking on a new leadership role or leveling up your skills, this book will be your go-to guide for navigating and thriving in today's world of leadership.
