"Andrea draws on decades of work with global leaders to offer something most leadership books miss: a direct, practical guide to staying aligned with who you are when the pressure to perform pulls you in every direction. A valuable read for any executive facing a defining moment."

Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman and CEO, Baker Hughes

With endorsements from

"The greatest threat to performance isn't strategy or execution; it's the slow drift from who you are under pressure. The Identity, Message, Presence framework is a clear articulation of what separates leaders who endure from those who erode."

James W. Keyes

former CEO, 7-Eleven and Blockbuster

"We don't need more leadership frameworks. We need leaders who know who they are and refuse to fake it."

Gary Hamel

co-author of Humanocracy and Visiting Professor, London Business School

"A thoughtful and practical book for CEOs and aspiring CEOs who want better alignment between who they are, what they say, and how they show up in their most consequential roles."

Amy C. Edmondson

Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard Business School
