Lead Anyway: How to Build the Career You Want When the Rules Weren’t Written for You
In Lead Anyway, Jen Spencer draws from over twenty years of unconventional career pivots, real-world executive leadership, and lived experience across education, nonprofit theatre, SaaS, and the C-suite to deliver a refreshingly honest roadmap for modern leaders. This book isn’t another corporate playbook; it’s a masterclass in leading with authenticity, empathy, and the kind of hard-won clarity that only comes from stepping off the traditional path.
Through raw stories, practical insights, and deeply relatable moments from building programs that were taken away without warning, to navigating acquisitions, to finding her voice in rooms where she was the only woman, Jen reveals what leadership really looks like when the script runs out. Blending lived lessons with actionable tools, Lead Anyway helps leaders at every stage build confidence, trust themselves, speak up, and lead from who they are, not who they were told to be.
Whether you’re an emerging leader or an executive shaping company-wide impact, this book gives you the clarity and courage to stop waiting for permission and start leading on your own terms.
