Overview

UnReady to Lead - How America's Leaders Are Built confronts a truth many organizations quietly acknowledge yet rarely address: America continues to produce capable professionals, yet far fewer leaders who are ready for responsibility the moment it arrives. Across companies, communities, and national institutions, the gap between potential and preparedness keeps widening, creating avoidable setbacks in moments when readiness matters most. Drawing from more than two decades of negotiation, consulting, and executive-level advisory work, Oluwabiyi Adeyemo examines the real experiences that form leaders - rejection, value, balance, persuasion, responsibility. These are the tests that never appear on résumés yet determine whether someone can think clearly under pressure, make decisions that hold, and inspire trust when circumstances tighten. This is not theory. It is a field-tested blueprint for readiness. Through personal accounts, high-stakes decisions, and lessons gained from working with senior executives, global corporations, regulators, and government departments, Adeyemo reveals why so many rise into roles they cannot sustain - and what it truly takes to prepare for leadership at scale. The message is direct and nationally relevant. Strong leaders are not discovered; they are shaped through discipline, clarity, and the ability to withstand pressure without surrendering principle. America's future depends on people who can meet that standard. UnReady to Lead opens a two-part leadership series. It diagnoses the readiness gap. The next book presents the path forward.
