Your LEADERship Journey: 52 Weeks of Leadership - Hardcover

by Katie Ervin (Author)

Leadership is not a title. It is a practice!

In Your LEADERship: 52 Weeks of Leadership, Dr. Katie Ervin delivers a powerful, research-backed, and deeply practical journal designed to help individuals at every level grow meaningful leadership skills. Whether you lead a team, influence peers, serve your community, or are simply committed to personal growth, this guided 52-week journey equips you to lead with intention, courage, and authenticity.

Rooted in Dr. Ervin's Catalyst LEADERs Model-Lead, Engage, Accept, Develop, Effective, Resilient, and the essential "So What?"-this journal transforms leadership from theory into daily action. Each week focuses on a core leadership competency such as emotional intelligence, psychological safety, trust, belonging, initiative, negotiation, and generational collaboration.

Every chapter includes three powerful components:

• Reflect to deepen self-awareness
• Act to build real-world skill through application
• Stretch to grow confidence, courage, and influence

This is not a book you read once and shelve. It is a working companion. A tool for career and power skills development. A space to examine your values, strengthen your voice, and align your behaviors with the leader you want to become.

Blending academic insight with real-world application, Dr. Ervin draws on her doctoral research in workplace motivation, employee engagement, and leadership development to create a structured, accessible framework that works across industries-from logistics and construction to healthcare, finance, education, and nonprofit leadership.

Designed for emerging professionals, seasoned executives, and anyone committed to personal growth, Your LEADERship proves that leadership is not about becoming someone different. It is about becoming the most intentional version of yourself.

If you're ready to move from reactive to intentional, from busy to effective, and from positional authority to meaningful influence, this 52-week journey will help you measure what matters and lead with purpose.
