Description
Leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about taking ownership, building trust, and influencing outcomes.
In Take the Wheel, Vladislav Sopov offers a practical playbook for everyday leadership, whether you’re managing a team, collaborating across departments, or trying to steer your own career. Through relatable stories, humor, and actionable exercises, Sopov shows how to step up with confidence, earn buy-in, and lead even without formal authority.
Perfect for professionals who want to grow into leadership roles, managers looking for simple and effective tools, and anyone who wants to become the kind of leader people want to follow.
If you’ve read Extreme Ownership or Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, but want something more accessible and hands-on, Take the Wheel is your roadmap to driving change.
