IN THE BLACK: Leadership Under Pressure examines what leadership looks like when the margin for error gets smaller, the pressure rises, and other people are depending on the decisions you make.
Drawing from military service, training environments, rescue work, business, humanitarian missions, and decades of real-world experience, David Burnell explores the qualities that matter most when leadership is tested: preparation, judgment, accountability, trust, adaptability, self-control, and the ability to remain useful when circumstances become uncertain.
This is not a book about titles, status, or leadership theory in ideal conditions. It is about what happens when plans fail, information is incomplete, time is limited, and the consequences of poor decisions become very real.
David examines how leaders prepare before the crisis, how they communicate under pressure, how credibility is built, why responsibility cannot be delegated away, and how the best leaders create confidence without pretending to have all the answers.
At its core, IN THE BLACK is about becoming the kind of leader others can rely on when conditions are difficult and the path forward is not obvious.
