Paperback. Are you still fixing someone else's slide deck at 6:15 on a Tuesday evening, quietly telling yourself "it's just faster this way"? You didn't become a leader to spend your evenings approving routine expense claims, clearing endless emails, and putting out daily fires. Yet, Monday morning arrives, your inbox is glowing, and back-to-back meetings start immediately. The problem isn't that you lack technology. It's managerial overload-too much information, too many minor decisions landing on your desk, and almost no time left to think clearly. In The High-Leverage Manager, business author Nolan J. Veyne delivers a practical, fluff-free blueprint for the modern leader. This is not a book of breathless hype or generic prompts. It is a system to build a repeatable management system that protects your most valuable assets: your time and your judgment. The Core Shift: AI Participates. The Manager Owns Judgment. AI can draft an email, summarize a document, or generate a meeting agenda. But it cannot know if the output is fair, true, or right for your specific team. This book teaches you how to stop using AI like a glorified search box and start using it as genuine leverage. You will learn to divide your work into what can be automated, accelerated, augmented, and what must stay human.Real-World Scenarios You'll Recognize Navigate common management struggles alongside four relatable, composite leaders: Sarah, who is so busy helping her team that she has quietly become the bottleneck for every single decision.Daniel, who is drowning in more information and meetings than any calendar should hold.Priya, who struggles with stakeholders and writing massive reports to prove work instead of enabling decisions.Marcus, who runs a fast-moving team where every single break or fire lands on his desk.What You Will Master with the P.A.C.E. System: Built around the core pillars of Prepare, Analyze, Communicate, and Execute, you will unlock 15 practical tools: The Decision-First Meeting: Cut useless, recurring meetings and ensure every slot is built around a real decision.The One-Page Decision Brief: Stop writing 18-page reports and start writing compressed briefs that get immediate sign-off.The Decision Challenger: Use AI to attack your assumptions and stress-test plans instead of outsourcing your confirmation bias.The Delegation Contract: Shift from handing out tasks to delegating true ownership.The Feedback Test & B.R.A.V.E. Conversations: Stop confusing kindness with ambiguity.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
