Pause

Unlock your team's best work - even in the most distracting environments.

Is your team busy but rarely at its best? Is the pressure to do more with less pushing your people to burnout?

Most employees don't underperform because they lack talent or ambition. They struggle because their environment makes sustaining great work nearly impossible. It doesn't have to be that way.

In Pause, speaker and consultant Shawn Vanderhoven reveals 12 leadership practices to deliberately slow things down so your team can speed up where it matters most.

Drawing from original research on over 150 major companies from Amazon to Google to LinkedIn, he shows you how to:

Protect focus by replacing distracting messaging habits

Generate momentum by turning fuzzy goals into clear targets

Expose the hidden workload undermining deep work

Turn rumination into confidence by using mistakes to fuel growth.

Packed with compelling case studies and actionable tools, Pause equips you to cut through the noise, deliver exceptional results and become the boss everyone wants to work for.
