Do you ever feel like leadership is pushing you to be someone you’re not?
Many leaders today are quietly struggling. They want to act with integrity, but the system nudges them toward compromise, conformity, and self-doubt. They want to inspire others, but end up rescuing, shrinking, or sacrificing themselves just to keep things afloat.
Calm REBEL Leadership is a guide to breaking free — not with noise or aggression, but with clarity, courage, and calm.
Drawing on research, real-world case studies, and decades of leadership coaching, Geoff Watts introduces the Calm REBEL Arc, a practical framework to help you:
• Recognise and escape the five traps that erode authentic leadership.
• Reconnect with your values and voice, even in unsupportive systems.
• Build the resilience to sustain yourself — without self-sacrifice.
• Lead change in ways that are steady, grounded, and deeply human.
This book is for conscientious leaders who haven’t given up, but feel worn down by environments that reward compliance over creativity, and command-and-control over collaboration.
Whether you’re leading a team, an organisation, or a movement, Calm REBEL Leadership will help you reclaim your integrity, restore your energy, and rediscover the impact only you can make.
