Amplify your leadership

Paperback | 350 pages

What if leadership isn’t about what you do, but the energy you bring into every room?

In an era of relentless pressure and chronic burnout, many leaders are still trying to solve modern challenges through control. They push harder, work longer, and try to manage every variable. Yet teams disengage, cultures fracture, and performance suffers. Because the real driver of leadership isn’t effort, it’s influence.

And influence is shaped by the ripple effect of a leader’s thoughts, behaviors, and actions.

At 37, Yancy Wright was leading sustainability initiatives for organizations including Amazon, Microsoft, Seattle Children’s Hospital, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. From the outside, he was thriving. Behind the scenes, self-imposed pressure was taking a toll until a heart condition forced him to stop.

That experience revealed a truth that changed everything: you cannot build a sustainable organization if you are not sustaining yourself as a leader.

In Amplify Your Leadership, Yancy introduces a framework for shifting from reactive, fear-based leadership to intentional, conscious influence. Blending neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and insights from over 500 leadership retreats, this book shows leaders how to strengthen trust, ownership, collaboration, performance, and well-being.

Become the leader whose presence creates clarity, trust, and momentum.
