The Shift: A Leadership Fable of the Transition from Overwhelm to Focus
LINCOLN, NE – Dr. Addison Killeen, a recognized expert in leadership and organizational systems, is set to release his transformative new book, The Shift: A Leadership Fable of the Transition from Overwhelm to Focus. This compelling narrative offers a fresh perspective for leaders grappling with the pervasive challenges of distraction, burnout, and reactive decision-making, providing a clear path to regaining control and fostering environments that cultivate clarity, focus, and joy.

—Tom Osborne, Former U.S. Congressman and National Champion Football Coach
