Climbing Your Career Tree: Life Lessons to Grow the Leader Within You

$7.49 $9.99

What does it take to grow into the leader you were meant to be? After 36 years leading global teams at Shell and BHP, executive coach and business advisor David Purvis has distilled a career's worth of hard-won wisdom into one practical, honest, and inspiring book.

Climbing Your Career Tree is not a theory-heavy leadership manual. It's a collection of real lessons from real experience — the kind that only comes from decades of leading people, solving complex problems, and navigating the challenges that every ambitious professional eventually faces.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • How to build a career strategy that grows with you — not just a ladder to climb, but a tree to root and expand

  • The leadership habits that separate good managers from truly exceptional ones

  • Why alignment and vision matter more than tactics — and how to cultivate both in yourself and your team

  • Tools for building high-performance teams that execute with discipline and accountability

  • How to navigate conflict, change, and adversity without losing momentum

  • The mindset shifts that unlock sustainable leadership at every stage of your career

Whether you're a seasoned executive, a business owner, or an emerging leader ready to step into your full potential, this book will challenge you, encourage you, and equip you with the tools to climb higher.
