About the Book
Leadership doesn’t expire.
Purpose doesn’t depreciate.
Resilience isn’t something you age out of.
Leadership doesn’t follow a single timeline. It isn’t confined to titles, age, or conventional pathways. Instead, leadership evolves—shaped by experience, adversity, and identity.
Using the metaphor of an indefinite useful life, this book offers a different way of thinking about leadership—one that adapts, grows, and deepens over time rather than diminishing.
Indefinite Useful Life:
Leadership Forged Without an Expiration Date
A Leadership Story Rooted in Experience
Indefinite Useful Life blends reflective storytelling with practical insight. Drawing from early life medical challenges and a nonlinear leadership journey, the book explores how formative experiences—especially those shaped by adversity—can become the foundation for authentic leadership.
Through personal stories of:
Health crises
Self-doubt
Imposter syndrome
Learning to follow before leading
the book demonstrates how leadership capacity strengthens through lived experience.
