In a world where leadership is increasingly defined by speed, complexity, and unrelenting demands, many leaders succeed professionally while quietly eroding personally. COMPOSED: A Mosaic Advantage to Lead Without Losing Yourself reframes leadership not as performance under pressure, but as presence within it.

Drawing on leadership psychology, emotional regulation, identity research, and cross-cultural insight, award-winning author Dr. Karissa Thomas introduces the Mosaic Advantage™—a practical framework for sustaining clarity, composure, and coherence while leading in high-stakes environments. Rather than prescribing surface-level productivity hacks or performative resilience, COMPOSED addresses the internal architecture of leadership: how leaders think, regulate emotion, make decisions, and remain anchored to who they are as expectations intensify.

This book is for leaders who are tired of choosing between effectiveness and well-being. Through research-informed guidance, reflective prompts, and real-world leadership applications, COMPOSED equips executives, educators, entrepreneurs, and professionals to lead with steadiness, adapt without fragmentation, and influence without self-betrayal.

Leadership does not require self-sacrifice. It requires composure.
