Lead Like a Father is a practical leadership book for executives, managers, and emerging leaders who want to build stronger teams, healthier workplace cultures, and more sustainable organizational performance.

Written by senior executive Mark Jeffery, this book introduces a powerful, human-centered approach to leadership grounded in the real-world principles of effective fatherhood. Rather than focusing on outdated command-and-control models, Lead Like a Father shows how presence, clarity, accountability, compassion, and long-term responsibility translate directly into exceptional corporate leadership.

At the core of the book is the FatherFramed™ Leadership Model, an original framework built around eight essential leadership pillars: Presence, Priorities, Communication, Discipline, Compassion, Integrity, Service, and Love. These principles provide leaders with a clear, repeatable model for decision-making, people leadership, executive performance, and organizational culture development.

This leadership book is designed for:

• CEOs, executives, and senior leaders

• Managers and people leaders at all levels

• Board members and governance professionals

• HR, leadership development, and organizational culture specialists

• Corporate trainers, facilitators, and executive coaches
  

Through practical examples, relatable leadership stories, and actionable insights, Lead Like a Father demonstrates how values-based leadership drives higher engagement, stronger trust, improved performance, and long-term business sustainability. The book is intentionally inclusive—you do not need to be a parent to apply its leadership lessons.

Whether you are leading a large organization, managing a growing team, or preparing for your next leadership role, Lead Like a Father provides a grounded, modern framework for ethical leadership, emotional intelligence, accountability, and people-first management in today’s complex business environment.
