What if the success you've worked so hard to earn is built on ways of thinking that your world no longer rewards?

In a world of growing complexity, the instincts that once served leaders well - control, certainty, and correct answers - have become liabilities. Shifting Toward Unorthodoxy invites readers into a deeper conversation about their organizations and how best to lead them, revealing the unseen "operating systems" that shape how we make sense of what's happening-and what's possible.

Drawing from decades of healthcare leadership, coaching C-suite executives, and lived practice, Dr. Michael Hein explores how mindsets - not methods - drive the personal transformations that underlie successful leadership in the 21st century.

Shifting Toward Unorthodoxy isn't a how-to manual. Grounded in adult development and complexity theory, it's an invitation to lead differently - not by mastering new techniques, but by shifting the assumptions beneath them.

This book is for leaders who suspect conventional answers won't solve today's challenges. For those willing to question orthodoxy. For those ready to do the inner work that sustains outer impact.

Shifting Toward Unorthodoxy offers no shortcuts and no roadmaps - just the courageous invitation to think again, see differently, and lead with greater clarity, humility, and presence.
