The book, and the worldview behind it — a leader's path from forcing the fit to creating it.
Most leadership models hand you a destination and a checklist to get there. But real leaders don't climb a straight ladder — they travel. They meet the moments that don't fit, get tested, and grow their range. Leadership Odyssey is the story of that journey, and the worldview underneath the whole Square Peg system: you don't become a better leader by forcing yourself into one shape, but by learning to change the fit.
Leading by pushing harder — on yourself, your people, the plan — and mistaking effort for progress when the shape is wrong.
Learning to notice the stories and assumptions driving the room — including your own — and finding the choice that was always there.
Leading with range: reading the moment, and changing the fit between who your people are and what the situation needs.
Read it on its own, or use it as the through-line for coaching and cohort development — the narrative that connects every tool in the system to a leader's own path.
If the Lens and the card decks are the instruments, Leadership Odyssey is the map — the worldview that gives them meaning and a leader a path to travel. One language, one idea, running through everything.
The worldview behind Square Peg, in one read — with the stories, the science, and the path from forcing the fit to creating it.
