The Uncrowned CEO Practice Workbook by Dr. Benjamin Ritter, navy cover with gold crown

Inside the workbook

Not another thing to read.
A place to begin.

You don’t need to work through it in order. Choose the practice that speaks to a decision, conversation, or responsibility in front of you.

01 / AUTHORITY

Find where it breaks down.

Look at a decision you carried responsibility for. Was authority never handed over, not recognized, or yours but unused?

02 / THE HANDOFF

Have the conversation.

Separate the personal conversation with your parent from the operating conversation the business needs.

03 / SELF-LEADERSHIP

Decide what guides you.

Build your Clarity map. Put words to the direction and standards you want to bring to the role.

These are actual pages from the workbook. Type your answers in a compatible PDF reader, or print the pages you want to use.

I coach the leadership side of succession: how you make decisions, hold your standards, and lead as yourself inside a business with a history that began before you.

I wrote The Uncrowned CEO for the successor in the seat. This workbook brings the practices together so you can put the work into your own decisions and conversations.

When you want to go further

You don’t have to figure
all of this out alone.

If the same decision keeps coming back, or the same conversation keeps going nowhere, let’s talk about what’s happening and whether coaching together is a fit.
