Books from Augustus Management Press explore the challenges, opportunities, and human experiences that shape how we lead, grow, and navigate change.
Our first collection, A Practice of Leading, examines leadership from different perspectives—developing others, understanding ourselves, and guiding people through transformation.
Upcoming Books
When Leaders Lead Leaders
Coming Soon
Leadership changes when the people you lead are leaders themselves.
Success is no longer measured simply by what you accomplish, but by your ability to develop, empower, and trust others to lead.
Drawing on decades of real-world experience, Pamela Spencer shares hard-earned lessons about building capable leaders, navigating complexity, and discovering when the most powerful thing a leader can do is step back.
The Cost of Being Reliable
Coming 2027
Being the person everyone can count on is a source of pride. But what happens when reliability becomes an expectation rather than a choice?
For high achievers, problem-solvers, and those who always carry the load, success can come at a personal cost.
Through honest reflection and lived experience, Pamela Spencer explores the hidden weight of responsibility, the connection between achievement and self-worth, and the liberating realization that just because you can carry something doesn’t mean you should.
The Human Side of Transformation
Coming 2027
Organizations don’t transform. People do.
Behind every new strategy, system, and process are people being asked to change how they think, work, and lead.
Drawing on decades of leadership and transformation experience, Pamela Spencer explores why even the best strategies fail when we overlook the human element—and how trust, empathy, and practical leadership can turn uncertainty into meaningful, lasting change.
