Your development companion
The app
The app turns the book's insights into practice: your leadership profile, the book's practices for each tension, a private journal, engagement with your coach, and a 30-day cycle that checks back on how it went.
Free to start. One year of Full Access comes with every copy of the book.
Works on any phone or computer. Add it to your home screen in one tap.
About the app
The book shows what the best leaders do, and the app is where you learn to do it.
You start with the free Best Boss Leadership Assessment, which gives you a leadership profile across the foundation and the six tensions. The app then helps you manage your tensions.
With Full Access, each tension gets its own page: how it shows up in your leadership, your strengths and growth edge, the reflection question for your lean, and a place to record what you tried and what happened.
Commit to one tension for 30 days, and the app checks back in with what you logged and two questions, then helps you choose what comes next. If you have a coach, you can share your journey with them.
It also provides you with links to new insights from the authors and to other leadership resources for your tensions.
The app helps you become a Best Boss, one practice at a time.
What you get
01
Your leadership profile. Free, from the 42-question assessment: where you lean on the foundation and the six tensions, and which chapters are yours.
02
The full Leadership Development Report. Seventeen pages built from your results, including how you compare to leaders at your level and the three practices from the book that fit your lean. Download it as a PDF. Always available.
03
A place to work. One page per tension with the book's practices, a way to mark what you tried, a reflection question, and a private journal that remembers.
04
The 30-day cycle. Commit to one tension, one strength, and one practice. We check back in thirty days and help you choose what comes next.
05
Reading, Insights, and the podcast. The books we cite with the authors' notes, every blog post, and every podcast episode are organized by tension so that what you read connects to what you're working on.
06
Grow with someone. One free mentoring connection with Full Access: mentor someone, or ask a leader you admire to mentor you. Share only the pages you choose; they see your work and leave notes for you. Coaching, if you want it, from the same place.
How it works
1
Take the assessment. Five to ten minutes, no account needed. Your results are waiting in the app the moment you sign in.
2
Open your report. Start with the tension the report flags, read what the book says about it, and pick one practice.
3
Work it for 30 days. Try the practice, write down what happened, answer the reflection. The app checks back in and helps you choose the next one.
4
Look back every 90 days. A short review of your own words, in the book's terms, shows what you worked on and what to focus on next.
