Available for pre-order (publication date March 17, 2026)
As described on Amazon:
Tina Schust Robinson offers a much-needed reimagining of leadership development. She guides all talent investors—from founders and executives committed to the growth of their people to those doing the hands-on design, building, and delivery work—toward a more holistic and successful leadership development approach. Making a powerful business case for investing intentionally in leaders, Robinson explores why leadership investment is a crucial aspect of any business strategy and what characteristics define a good leader. She shows how talent development professionals and teams can craft initiatives that are tied to their organization’s and employees’ specific needs, sustainable over time, and highly effective.
Robinson also shares her one-to-one, one-to-many, and one-to-all leadership development framework. She demonstrates how organizations can pursue coaching and mentoring for individuals, improve leadership training for groups, and develop a comprehensive organizational strategy to address leadership development throughout the talent life cycle (from recruiting and onboarding to performance and goal management) through development, succession planning, and rewards and retention.
Practical and accessible, Robinson’s framework includes tools and exercises to help practitioners tailor their solutions to specific audiences and business needs. In each chapter, she shares insights from interviews with successful leaders and talent development pros to show the three-pronged framework in action. Checklists, assessments, and questionnaires allow you to apply the framework immediately.
