Please join us in ABC The Hague for an afternoon with Lisa Rassaei, author of . Lisa will talk about her book, have a Q&A session, and sign her book as well.
About the book:
Burnout and toxic dynamics aren't random, they follow patterns most leaders don't see.
If you're feeling drained, frustrated, or stuck at work, you're not alone, and it's not your fault.
What we often call burnout is not just exhaustion.
It's how people adapt when work environments don't feel safe.
Every team carries invisible dynamics: unspoken fears, past experiences, power imbalances, and survival patterns. Left unaddressed, these shape behavior, drive conflict, and lead to disengagement and burnout. But when leaders learn to recognize and work with them, something shifts, tension turns into trust, and pressure no longer comes at the cost of people.
In Leading Through The Shadows, Dr. Lisa Rassaei draws on more than a decade of leadership and coaching experience across corporate and non-profit organizations to reveal what truly drives human behavior and performance at work. Through real-life examples and reflection questions, she offers a clear, step-by-step approach to building psychologically safe environments, strengthening relationships, and creating sustainable performance.
