Ditch Command & Control Leadership is a must-read for professionals and teams seeking to enhance their performance and create a harmonious work environment. What sets this book apart from others in the genre is its practicality—Alissa provides real-world examples and case studies illustrating how the concepts discussed can be effectively applied in various professional settings. The transformative coaching program that inspired this book has personally driven my company to not only identify our own dream team but to put this concept into reality. I highly recommend it to professionals at all levels who are looking to build their own dream team and unlock their full potential.

By sharing her insight around why many leadership development programs fail, Alissa sets the stage for exploring some simple but profound lessons on how to approach developing your personal leadership skills and the skills of your entire team in a way that sets up an organization for long-term leadership improvement and overall employee development. Her quote “Who you are is how you lead, and how you lead determines the culture and success of your team and organization” sums up the importance of leadership. This book does a great job highlighting the important concepts she teaches organizations to help them move away from a command-and-control structure to one based on servant leadership and a philosophy around coaching for success.

I wish I had found this framework and book ten years ago—it would have saved me a lot of stress! I have those leadership moments where I feel I should be doing something different or better yet, cannot put my finger on it. The very practical four-step process that Alissa lays out in her book has begun to resolve that nagging feeling. As I’m applying the concepts, I’m already feeling a greater sense of confidence as I lead my team. Truly a breath of fresh air.

General Manager, Manufacturing
In my twenty-five-year career in manufacturing, I have read a lot of leadership books and gone to several leadership seminars. Alissa’s coach approach sets itself apart from other leadership programs because she recognizes the importance of understanding the “who” of each individual leader. I have learned through Alissa’s guidance how critical this is to truly transform yourself, your leaders, and your business. Whether you are a senior leader, a new leader, or want to become a leader, I cannot recommend this book enough. These leadership concepts have truly had a positive impact not on just me and my senior leaders but also on our business.

I found Ditch Command & Control Leadership: Transform Your Leaders from Boss to Coach to be a great guide for leaders. The book provides both thought-provoking insight as well as practical tools for leaders at all organizational levels. Particularly, the inclusion of real-life experiences provides credibility to Alissa’s coaching principles and is a valuable inclusion for the reader. For me, one of the most important components of her book, especially for leaders looking for programs to develop and transition their leaders, is where she addresses why many leadership programs fail to generate the expected ROI. She points to the fact that teaching leadership skills and competencies alone will not produce sustainable results and further addresses the criticality of first uncovering and addressing a leader’s mindset. This was pivotal to me as a leader, and I loved how she addressed it. This book motivates me further to continue my leadership journey and work harder on those areas and situations where I don’t always show up as a coach. Thank you, Alissa, for further inspiration to continue the journey!

I loved this book, and it has inspired me to want to work more on being a “coach leader.” It is the glue that puts all the leadership pieces together. I have learned firsthand how impactful knowing your natural wiring and comparing it to your team can be. I’ve always believed people understand something, or buy into a change or idea better, if they know the “why.” While reading the book, I just kept thinking I should do this or I need to work on that, so I had to grab a pen and underline, circle, and make notes in the margins. There were so many aha moments. Now I’m excited to turn my notes into action plans and hopefully transform myself into a coach leader.
