“The Leadership Roadmap is refreshingly practical — every idea comes with tools you can actually use. I especially like how the chapters progress: starting with yourself, then people, teams, the wider world, and finally beyond. Dr. Robert Stroud gives you a way to build leadership step by step, in real situations. A book worth keeping close.”

“In today’s world of quick fixes and a plethora of ‘how-to’ books, The Leadership Roadmap is a refreshing change in considering the principles of leadership by using the metaphor of a developmental route. Using a story-based approach combined with self-reflection, leadership tools, and practical applications this publication is a must-have for leaders of today.”

“The Leadership Roadmap turns leadership into something you can actually picture. The road-journey metaphor and visual tools (e.g., the Dashboard, the GPS, the Cultural Windshield, the Bridge Builder) give abstract ideas a shape that stays with you and a language you can bring into your everyday practice.”

“The Leadership Roadmap makes leadership practical without making it simplistic. Its road-based models turn complex ideas into memorable tools, while keeping people, judgment, and relationships at the center. It is a timely, accessible guide for leaders navigating change across many professional contexts.”

“The Leadership Roadmap brings leadership back to people: noticing, listening, reflecting, asking better questions and being willing to change direction. It’s a practical, human approach to thinking about how we lead others and, just as importantly, how we understand ourselves. Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. Very often, it starts with asking better questions.”

“Dr. Stroud has done what most leadership books skip: turned good ideas into tools leaders can actually pick up and use. The Dashboard, the Gearbox, the Mirror Check, practical, memorable, and built for Monday morning, not just for reading.”
