Bold leadership doesn't happen by chance, it happens by choice. Boldness isn't something you're born with. It's something you build.
The BOLD Leader is the neuroscience-based leadership guide for executives, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders ready to create high-performance momentum and the results that matter most.
Grounded in real-world tools and the signature D90 Method, this book helps you improve decision-making, lead under pressure, and activate bold, strategic leadership that fuels both personal growth and sustainable success.
Bestselling author and Bold Industries Group founder Leigh Burgess delivers a transformative approach informed by neuroscience, leadership psychology, and decades of lived experience. Using the BOLD Framework—Believe, Own, Learn, Design—and the D90 Method, you'll adopt a bold mindset and strategy that drives real, measurable change for yourself and your teams.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Use fear as a signal, not a stop sign, to lead with clarity under pressure Navigate high-stakes conversations with trust and presence Make confident, aligned decisions without overthinking Accelerate your impact with tools to expand your capacity and sharpen your edge Create lasting momentum in just 90 days using the D90 Method
The BOLD Leader gives you the mindset, structure, and tools to meet the moment and lead boldly, fueled by intention, not reaction. This is a system built for today's complexities and tomorrow's unknowns.
Your next level is calling. Being bold isn't a one-time act—it's a rhythm, a standard, and now, your leadership advantage.
