IF LEADERSHIP WAS EASY, EVERYONE WOULD DO IT.
Founding an organization is like building a plane and testing it out. When it’s ready, and you’re ready.
On the other hand, stepping into an organization or team someone else created feels more like jumping into a moving plane. The plane is full of people. You must get to know your new copilots, maintain direction, and keep it aloft.
Most of us won’t start something new. We’ll inherit something old.
Big Shoes to Fill, by Gavin Adams, helps leaders:
- Understand the tensions and problems associated with leading what’s inherited,
- Create a learning environment that expedites trust, and
- Guide everyone experiencing the transition through the normative emotions of change.

I started a company from scratch with no money. Long before that, I led a well-established and well-funded organization that is one of the oldest in the city of Houston. Hands down, the more difficult task was leading something I didn’t start. And it’s the task most leaders will face. If that’s you, get a copy of Big Shoes to Fill today. I wish I had a copy all those years ago.
– William Vanderbloemen, Founder and CEO, Vanderbloemen
Most leaders don’t start with a fresh slate; instead, they inherit something stale…a team, a process, or perhaps an entire organization. If you find yourself in that spot, Big Shoes to Fill, by Gavin Adams, offers you a concrete approach.
