""Janet Ply is the real deal. I've seen way too many talented people flail in leadership because nobody ever taught them how to do the job well. This book fixes that. Janet has been in the fire, she's led through chaos, and now she's giving you the tools she's used to rescue high-stakes, high-dollar messes. If you lead people-or you want to-Practical Leadership should live on your desk. Get it, use it, lead better."" -Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast ""Janet Ply has created what so many leadership books promise but rarely deliver-a practical and actionable guide, grounded in real-world experience. With clarity and compassion, she cuts through the noise and gives leaders exactly what they need: a framework that works in the messiness of real organizations.

It's not just theory-it's a road map for real transformation."" -Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 executive coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won't Get You There ""Practical Leadership bridges the gap between knowing and doing.
