“You didn’t sign up to be a boss — but now you’ve got people counting on you. It’s time to Take Charge.”

You started your business with a great idea — not necessarily the plan to become a boss. Now you're managing people, juggling expectations, and wondering how leadership ended up on your to-do list.

Take Charge is your no-fluff, practical guide to becoming the kind of leader your business (and team) actually needs — without burning out or losing your spark. Built around Claudia D. Thompson’s powerful four-step BOSS Method, this book walks entrepreneurs through everything from defining roles and improving team dynamics to building a values-driven culture that doesn’t rely on you for every decision.

With real-world examples, hands-on exercises, and Claudia’s trademark honesty and humour, this book gives you the tools to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose — even if you never imagined yourself in the role.

Learn how to shift from overwhelmed business owner to capable leader, so you lead with ease and confidence. Engage and empower your team to build a motivated, high-performing workplace. Put the right systems in place to scale successfully and create solid foundations for growth. Develop leadership skills that feel natural - simple, effective strategies you can put to work immediately.
