CEO Cadence – The Inner-Work of Becoming a Cadence-Based Leader (April 2026)

Introducing CEO Cadence: The Inner Work of Becoming a Cadence-Based Leader, a profound exploration of the psychological dimensions of CEO leadership by David Johnston, launching in early 2026.The CEO role comes with a particular kind of weight - the weight of decisions that cannot be delegated, pressures that cannot be shared, and a constant awareness that your internal state shapes the emotional climate for everyone else. This book addresses what most leadership literature avoids: the structural isolation of the role, the burden of non-delegable decisions, and the internal discipline required to maintain clarity under sustained pressure.CEO Cadence is not a tactical manual. It's a philosophical companion for leaders who recognize that sustainable leadership requires more than strategy - it requires mature self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the capacity to lead from proportion rather than urgency.Written for CEOs navigating complexity, executive coaches supporting senior leaders, and anyone preparing for the weight of executive leadership.Ready to explore the inner work of leadership?
