"Fearless: Leadership Lessons at the Crossroads" offers a compelling framework for business and nonprofit leaders to cultivate a mindset of resilience, learning, and growth.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Author and OneCause CEO, Steve Johns, today announced the release of his book, "Fearless: Leadership Lessons at the Crossroads." The book, published by GriffMor Publishing, is a must-read for business and nonprofit leaders who seek to cultivate a culture of innovation and human-centered connection in their organizations.

"Fearless: Leadership Lessons at the Crossroads" is a powerful guide for today's leaders and people builders. CEO Steve Johns draws on his experience leading the OneCause team and its nonprofit customers through unprecedented change during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the in-person fundraising world came to a halt and life-changing causes and organizations were on the line. Stopping, hiding, and waiting weren't options – Steve and his company needed to act.

"In today's unpredictable world, we all need to live and lead fearlessly," said Johns, "I hope the lessons shared in this book empower leaders of all kinds to chart a path forward with their teams and demonstrate ways to channel vulnerability, authenticity, and uncertainty into accelerated growth."

The journey started with a two-word update from Johns to his team in early 2020: "Be safe." This simple message evolved into weekly updates that empowered the OneCause team to band together, accelerate innovation, and enable their customers to keep powering their critical missions. Johns draws from modern media, classical philosophers, 21^st century leaders, and nonprofits to assemble a modern roadmap any leader can use to mobilize, motivate, and inspire.

The book's chapters contain over fifty timeless leadership lessons and countless examples of individuals, teams, and organizations leading fearlessly, embracing innovation, and harnessing the winds of change to emerge stronger. While the lessons in "Fearless" were learned and applied during the pandemic, each one is applicable to the myriad crossroads we all face in our everyday lives.

"'Fearless' is OUR story," said Deborah Barge, CFRE and fundraising executive, "Steve Johns shares the authentic journey of a team who leads with purpose, with courage to innovate with compassion for their community. It's a book you'll want to share, and a story you will see yourself in."

"Fearless: Leadership Lessons at the Crossroads" is available for purchase on Amazon.

A portion of all book royalties will be reserved for charitable donations, scholarship programs, and the advancement of generosity.
