Strength
in Chaos

The ultimate test for any leader is to successfully manage their team in chaos. No other area so clearly reveals one's strengths, or lack thereof. And yet, most people are not prepared for it. Despite being a constant presence (and distraction) in our daily lives, chaos is arguably the most neglected area in professional development. Until now...

Strength in Chaos is a game-changer. It is the first book to help people specifically pinpoint chaos, measure it, and adopt the solutions to overcome it. Relying on over 25 years of military and private sector experience, author Kevin Black takes the reader on a fascinating examination of the cascading effects of disorder. New concepts are introduced, like the "Control Factor" of leadership, "Behavioral Drift," and the "Control Continuum." In all, the reader is provided a rare education, along with invaluable insights, to become strong in the one area that undermines most leaders and teams.

Kevin Black has helped big and small businesses create over $500M of value using his leadership and strategy development services. A veteran army officer turned strategic advisor and leadership expert, he noticed a common thread throughout his experiences. "Leaders are not prepared for chaos," says Kevin, "no matter their position, industry, or even technical expertise." Now, Kevin is doing what has not been previously done before: providing leaders an in-depth understanding of chaos along with the different ways of how to overcome it. 

In addition to his corporate work, Kevin teaches American Military History at Scottsdale Community College. He writes on the topics of leadership, strategy, behaviors, and chaos, as seen in Forbes and USA Today. He is also the host of the Black Market Leadership podcast, the underground resource for disrupters. Kevin lives in chaos with his three Australian Cattle Dogs and American Dingo.
