EARLY PRAISE FOR CORNERED OFFICE
“Leaders can’t afford to ignore their mental health. If they don’t feel safe being open about their struggles or have the permission to figure out what they need to feel better, they won’t do better for their team and organization. This book makes an undeniable case and provides a logical blueprint for supporting leadership mental health at work. A must-read.”
— Kim Scott, Author of Radical Candor
“As someone who has confronted my own mental health as a leader, I welcome this book with gratitude. Too often, we expect leaders to be unshakable when in truth, we are human first and leaders second. Breaking through outdated expectations of stoicism, Melissa Doman opens space for an honest, overdue conversation―and lays the groundwork for the systems and tools we need to make our organizations, and our lives, healthier.”
— Alex Reid, Chief Communications Officer - Gates Foundation
“As a CEO who has trained and spoken to thousands of leaders globally, I understand firsthand how profoundly isolating and lonely leadership can be. Melissa’s book made me feel seen. She gets ‘it’ in a way that most authors don’t. This book lays out an essential framework that helps leaders navigate the stressful, often messy, high-pressure dynamics of the modern workplace―with their own emotional survival in mind. This gem is a critical resource that every leader needs.”
— Kwame Christian, Esq., M.A., CEO, American Negotiation Institute
