Weird is the New Normal: the unlikely path of leadership

Leadership doesn't come with a map-but it might come with a quest.

Weird is the New Normal is not your average leadership book. Blending vivid storytelling with deep insight, this one-of-a-kind narrative follows Arcanus, a wizard navigating a turbulent, enchanted world that just happens to mirror the chaos of modern leadership. Along the way, he encounters strange allies, surprising challenges, and moments of clarity that illuminate what it really means to lead with purpose.

Through a cleverly woven tale filled with charm, magic, and adventure, readers uncover essential lessons on empathy, communication, accountability, and the power of diverse thinking. Each twist in the story reflects a real-world leadership challenge, offering a practical, thoughtful perspective on how to lead with authenticity-even in the face of uncertainty.

Whether you're a new leader finding your footing, a seasoned professional looking to reconnect with your values, or someone who simply thinks a little differently, this book invites you to reimagine what leadership can be. Forget rigid theories and dry frameworks-this is leadership through storytelling, where imagination and insight go hand in hand.

Because in a world that doesn't always make sense, the best leaders are the ones willing to be a little weird.
