Discipline Beats Vision — Early Momentum and a Powerful Foreword

I am thrilled that nearly 300 copies of Discipline Beats Vision have already been pre-ordered around the world! Even more encouraging, many CEOs and leadership teams I work with have ordered between 10 and 50 copies for their organisations so they can learn and apply the ideas together.

That response means a lot, especially because this book was written to be used, not just read.

I’m also deeply grateful to Brian Napack (former global CEO of Wiley, President of Macmillan, Disney executive, investor and advisor) for writing the foreword. Brian is one of the most respected global leaders in the publishing and education sector, so his perspective is grounded in deep experience. Having been a CEO himself, worked with very senior leaders for over 30 years, and read, evaluated, and published hundreds of the world’s most influential business and leadership books, he brings a rare perspective on what truly differentiates exceptional leadership ideas. He perfectly captures the core message of the book:

At some point every CEO hits a performance wall. The best leaders don’t just ask what’s happening in the market — they ask: “Am I the leader my organisation needs right now?”

The strongest CEOs I’ve known succeed not because of vision alone, but because of the consistency of their leadership approach. In short, they have a system and they stick to it. Discipline beats vision.

He goes on to say something that meant a great deal to me personally, as it was my goal in writing the book:

This book succeeds by cutting through the noise to deliver a powerful, contrarian idea — that discipline beats vision — and it does so through a practical, step-by-step handbook leaders can actually implement.

That word implement is key. Which is why every chapter ends with a Monday Ready challenge, a prompt to change leadership behaviours immediately.

Team Pre-Order Bonus: To support teams who want to apply the ideas together, any organisation that pre-orders 15+ copies will receive a complimentary live leadership webinar for their team based on a framework that they choose from the book. Many groups have already locked this in.
