Creatine Leadership, Unmasking False Leaders: Beyond Muscle and Superficiality
How many muscles does it take to lead? Spoiler: none.
Creatine Leadership: Unmasking False Leaders, Re-Engineering Real Power strips away the pumped-up mythology of today’s “mirror-made” executives and exposes the brittle core hiding beneath the bulging sleeves. It follows the rise—and spectacular falls—of leaders who prize aesthetics over ethics, likes over long-term value, and follower counts over follow-through.
Drawing on gritty corporate autopsies, behavioral-science insights, and the author’s candid reflections from eight years inside bodybuilding culture, Creatine Leadership draws a sharp line between built bodies and built businesses. It proves that a deadlift personal record is no guarantee of profit, purpose, or people-centric culture—then supplies the blueprint for leaders who refuse to trade depth for display.
