The Problems Keeping You Up at Night Usually Aren't Isolated Problems

Conflict that never quite gets revolved. Accountability that doesn't stick. People working hard but pulling in different directions. Processes that keep breaking down. Too many decisions and problems find their way back to you.
It's tempting to solve each one separately. Curing Leadership Insomnia takes a different approach. It helps you see how many of those recurring problems connect—and introduces the leadership system designed to address them at the root.

TEAM DISFUNCTION

Low truct, conflict, poor communication, low morale

LACK OF OWNERSHIP

Unclear roles, weak accountability, constant leader intervention

OPERATIONAL FRICTION

Inefficiency, rework, unclear processes, wasted time

LACK OF DIRECTION

misaligned priorities, unclear value, goals that don't move the team forward

The Truby Approach

Start with the People.
Then Build the Processes.

Many leadership problems that appear unrelated are connected. A team without trust struggles to communicate. Without clear agreements and structure, accountability suffers. Without clarity around value and goals, people pull in different directions. And without effective systems, leaders end up compensating for the gaps.
That’s why the Truby Management System is built in a deliberate sequence—first developing the team, then creating the structure, direction, and systems that allow it to perform.
People drive process. And leadership shapes both.

What's Inside

Eight Steps. Four Phases. One Complete System.

Curing Leadership Insomnia walks you through the Truby Management System in sequence, with foundational teaching, real-world examples, and actionable strategies you can begin applying as you read.

Build trust, strengthen relationships, and establish how the team will communicate, handle conflict, and work together.

Clarify who owns what, establish responsibilities and boundaries, and make expectations unmistakable.

Align the team around the value it exists to deliver and create clear direction toward meaningful goals.

Improve workflow, efficiency, productivity, and the team’s ability to learn, adapt, and continually get better.

Why This Book is Different

Not Another Book of
Leadership Advice.

There are plenty of books that offer good ideas about communication, accountability, delegation, culture, or performance.
Curing Leadership Insomnia is different because those challenges aren’t treated as separate leadership problems.
They’re connected through one complete management system—giving you a way to understand not only what to do but also where to start, what comes next, and how the pieces work together.
  • RELATABLE CASE STUDIES
    Real leadership situations make the concepts recognizable and show how they work in practice.
  • STEP-BY-STEP GUIDANCE
    The eight TMS steps provide a logical sequence rather than a collection of disconnected leadership tips.
  • PRACTICAL TOOLS
    Each chapter includes actionable strategies and basic implementation elements you can begin using immediately.
  • DESIGNED FOR LEADERS AT ANY LEVEL
    Whether you’re leading your first team or an entire organization, the framework helps you identify what’s missing and determine what to do next.
