Most career advice assumes competent leadership. This book does not.
Your leader can't do the job. You see it.
The organization either can't - or won't.
Now what?
Career Strategy Under Broken Leadership is not a book about fixing bad bosses. It is a professional operating system for competent people navigating leadership that doesn't work - and building a career that does.
It dismantles one of the most expensive myths in professional life: that organizations reliably promote the competent. They don't. Promotion systems reward visibility, tenure, and political positioning as often as capability. Every professional will spend part of their career reporting to someone who cannot do what the role demands. This is structural, not aberrational.
The question is not why. The question is what you do about it.
Inside, you'll find a five-phase strategic framework:
Diagnose → Stabilize → Influence → Position → Evolve
Including:
- A diagnostic taxonomy of leadership dysfunction archetypes
- The Translation Layer - communicating with a leader whose capacity to receive information is compromised
- The Credibility Compound - building reputation as distributed infrastructure
- The Escalation Calculus - when escalation advances your interests and when it destroys them
- The Counter-Curriculum - turning observed dysfunction into leadership capability
- Strategic Movement Architecture - measuring leverage, liquidity, and positioning before making career moves
This is not self-help. No affirmations. No mindset hacks. No promises that talent is automatically rewarded.
This is strategy. Diagnostic clarity. Decision tools. An operating system for professionals who intend to engineer their trajectory rather than wait for recognition.
For operations managers, project leads, senior individual contributors, technical specialists - and anyone who has ever thought:
I am doing my job and my leader's job, and only one of us is getting credit.
The dysfunction may not end.
What changes is how you operate within it.
