The Cross-Domain Executive (Novel Edition)
A Novel of the First Year in the Seat
A business fable following one executive's first year in a senior seat at a fictional company, Solara Health — month by month, from the room changing in January through an unexplained budget number in February, an upstart rival in March, a war between product and operations in April, and the arrival of AI as a real force in the business by May. The frameworks, coaching principles, and leadership patterns are drawn directly from the author's real coaching practice; the story and characters are fiction, built to make those lessons memorable rather than abstract.
