The Leadership Hub

I’ve lived leadership from both sides: 20 years as Director of Computer Operations and Technical Services at Trader Joe’s, then ghostwriting leadership books for executives and coaches. The same patterns show up on both sides.

No pitch. No pressure.

This hub is laid out in chapters, from developing as a leader to communication, careers, networking, speaking and getting work done. If you have a leadership book in you, see my ghostwriting services or start smaller with the Book Discovery Intensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good manager?
Supporting your people, keeping your promises, telling them what’s going on and giving them room to do the work. Most bad managers fail at the promises before anything else.
Why should a leader write a book?
Because it puts your judgment in front of clients, boards and the press at a length no post or talk can match, and it keeps working after you’ve left the room.
What leadership experience does Richard Lowe have?
Twenty years as Director of Computer Operations and Technical Services at Trader Joe’s, part of 33 years in enterprise IT, managing teams through audits, migrations and disasters.

Ready to put your leadership story on the page?

Executives who publish a book change the way clients, peers and the press see them. A private consultation is the fastest way to find out whether a book makes sense for what you’re building.
