The most effective toolbox for leaders, managers, and team amplifiers
Leadership isn’t a talent – it’s a craft.
This book shows experienced leaders and rising managers how to systematically increase their impact. Instead of abstract theory, it offers a clear framework: the Leadership Flywheel built on Self, Team, Execution, and Vision. Four areas that reinforce each other – and make the difference between managing and truly leading. Dominik Kenzler combines years of hands-on experience with the best methods from product development, strategy, and team leadership into a compact system you can apply immediately.
Whether it’s your first leadership role, growing responsibilities, or the leap to executive level: this book provides orientation where others only offer advice. It delivers concrete tools for feedback, prioritization, decision-making under pressure, and building real momentum. No motivational fluff, no management romanticism – just what actually works. For everyone who wants to lead, not just manage.
