Exposed: When the Conditions Aren't Right: Why Capable Leaders Fail in Broken Systems and How to Protect Your Psychological Safety (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996590131)

Capable leaders fail every day - not because they lack talent, but because the conditions surrounding their roles make success nearly impossible.

In EXPOSED, transformation executive Valetta Taylor explores the hidden dynamics that shape leadership success inside complex organizations. Drawing on real-world experience guiding enterprise transformation, she reveals how misaligned authority, shifting narratives, and fragmented leadership structures quietly undermine even the most capable leaders.

Through a compelling leadership story and the introduction of the Executive Conditions Framework(TM), this book gives executives a powerful tool for evaluating the environments in which they work.

Readers will learn how to recognize early signals that leadership conditions are misaligned, identify when narratives about performance replace evidence, evaluate authority, alignment, and cultural safety, protect psychological safety while leading through complexity, and choose leadership environments where they can truly thrive.
