Quiet leadership: six steps to transforming performance at work by David Rock

BOOK SUMMARY

Quiet Leadership by David Rock is a transformative guide that helps leaders, managers, and coaches improve employee performance—not by telling people what to do, but by helping them think better. Drawing on neuroscience, Rock explains that lasting change happens not through commands or micromanagement, but by guiding people to rewire their own thinking.

The book introduces six practical steps to lead effectively by creating space for reflection, self-awareness, and insight—making performance improvement a natural outcome of better thinking.
