When change intimidates others, you embrace it. Metrics inspire you, and a bold vision drives you. You’re an entrepreneurial leader—you thrive with rapid growth.

But what happens when growth slows, plateaus, or even declines? What if your structure becomes unstable? Turbulence is the culprit, and it’s capable of impacting everything from outlook and productivity to retention and sales.

What happens when the cause of that Turbulence is you?

In Turbulence, Monique Maley shares the insight she’s gained from years of working with entrepreneurial leaders to help you identify the most common ways that turbulence disrupts your organization. She provides you with the tools and strategies you need to create an iterative cycle of leadership that begins with you. Whether you’re struggling to build a cohesive culture, experiencing conflict with your board of directors, or failing to see blind spots holding you back, this book shows you how to overcome resistance that stands in your way. You’ll learn how to slow down so you can speed up, assess and address turmoil and instability, and unlock the most effective, articulate, and persuasive leader you can be.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"In my role as Chief People Officer and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategist, I understand the power and effects of communication. A poor communicator can create unseen, unintended, and often intractable dilemmas. A leader who communicates clearly and with all of their people in mind can inspire, motivate and elevate those they lead. Turbulence can help anyone with a commitment to their organization's climate and culture to become a powerful and effective leader."
--Daisy Auger-Dominguez, Chief People Officer for VICE Media Group

"Turbulence is a must-read. It's practical and full of stories to help leaders have honest conversations with themselves and their team, engage effectively with clients or board members, and increase their credibility and influence. Having worked with Monique for years, I have seen the results myself and know the value of her insights in rapidly growing environments."
--Amos Schwartzfarb, Managing Director at Techstars and author of the bestselling books Levers and Sell More Faster

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing take on communication that anyone will get value from

As an engineer, I've had my share of leaders with vastly different communication styles, and I wish more of those leaders had read this book. What I liked about Turbulence was how it focused on communication in an authentic way, starting with communication with yourself. This really resonated with me, focusing inward on actually approaches as opposed to faking things to be perceived differently. I hope I can refer back to the actionable points at the end of chapters as I take on more lead roles in my career. I'm already starting to use some strategies with my team, as leadership comes from everyone.

What I love about this book is it laid out tools for individuals

5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful read with practical tips I put to use right away

Monique Maley brings a fresh spin to the challenges and opportunities we spend our careers - and lives - working to master. Her observations are poignant, relatable, and told with a knowing smile. Her recommendations have helped me lead and contribute to high-performance teams and create a respectful working environment with a positive quality of life for all. As an attorney at a large international law firm managing high-stakes representations, I found this book to be immensely helpful, but the book’s insights are timeless and can apply to any profession or situation.

Turbulence is a great book for anyone who wants t o be a more effective leader, whether leading a small team or large organization. The author breaks down and dissects communication, clearly explaining how it’s critical for effective leadership. Using personal insights, real life examples, case studies and providing questions for self assessment in each chapter, the information is easy to follow and implement. I will be referring to this book again and again, highly recommended!

As the CEO of a scaling startup, I can highly recommend Turbulence for anyone leading teams, participating on boards or navigating other stakeholders during these interesting times. Maley presents scores of relevant examples and tips for optimizing communication and diagnosing and overcoming challenges. She also offers measured practice suggestions that are easy to put to work. I found her chapter on authenticity especially enlightening and am working on identifying my personal "It factor".

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read even for experienced Leaders
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2021

As someone who has a natural knack for leadership I kind of thought I knew it all but then I read this book. The author doesn’t re-invent the wheel on communication but definitely has a unique spin on it, bringing up points that I had never really considered. I especially liked the chapter about what true dialogue means throughout the work day, particularly the inner dialogue we have with ourselves. I think now more than ever we all crave connection and Monique’s book is a clear roadmap on how to achieve that by staying visible and present. I think his book is a true resource I will return to often. I just wish it was longer.

Turbulence is an extremely impactful read, in which almost every page caused me to take a moment to reflect on how I was making the precise mistakes described in running a business and working with a team. I think its lessons might take a lifetime (or at least a second business) to master, but Turbulence instantly gave me a starting point and vision for how to be a more effective leader.
