Span of Control: What to Do When You're Under Pressure, Overwhelmed, and Ready to Get What You Really Want (Unabridged‪)‬

In her first book, Wall Street Journal best seller Fearless Leadership, Carey D. Lohrenz identified and explored the characteristics of true leaders - courage, tenacity, and integrity - and then revealed exactly how those characteristics are expressed in action in fast-moving, dynamic environments.

In Span of Control, Lohrenz picks up right where Fearless Leadership left off - encouraging listeners to develop resilience for facing hard times. Span of Control offers a collection of moving stories, actionable tools, and opportunities for listener reflection, all of which can be applied immediately in businesses, on teams, and in listeners’ personal lives. The central tenet of this book - that we focus our attention and effort explicitly and relentlessly on a limited number of priorities that we can, and should, control - offers a clear path out of the chaos and overwhelm that can accompany our biggest challenges and our moments of greatest distress.

As one of the first female F-14 Tomcat fighter pilots in the US Navy, Carey D. Lohrenz knows well that inconsistent execution in fast-moving, dynamic environments can generate catastrophic results. Lohrenz has translated her leadership and strategy experience in the Navy to help top business leaders supercharge their performance in today’s competitive business environments, adapt strategies under pressure, reduce errors, and overcome obstacles along the way. Lohrenz has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and NPR, and in Inc., Time, Huffington Post, and more, and has delivered her leadership and strategy experience to thousands of Forbes Global 2000, Fortune 500, and other companies worldwide. A CEO, board member, business owner, and mom to four kids, Lohrenz inspires individuals and organizations to lead through uncertainty, overcome pressure and adversity, and remain relevant and focused in a competitive marketplace.
