We’re entering an age where leaders can no longer get away with surveillance, micro-management, or lip service to culture. You have to show up with way more authenticity and compassion. Zen Habits.”

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the dust settles on one of the most disruptive shifts in modern history—the global move to remote and hybrid work—leaders are left with one critical question: What does leadership look like now?
Tim Salau, CEO of Guide and known worldwide as Mr. Future of Work, answers that question in his forthcoming book, The 7 Habits of Zen Leadership: What Successful Leaders Did When the World Stopped Going to Work, launching on October 8, 2025.
Drawing on case studies from Microsoft, Spotify, Patagonia, and other transformative organizations, Salau unveils a leadership framework for the hybrid era: Zen Leadership. This framework equips leaders to replace outdated command-and-control approaches with habits grounded in clarity, courage, and compassion.
The seven habits at the heart of Zen Leadership include:
Lead with Purpose (Why): Ground every decision in meaning.
Lead with Authenticity: Show up as your true self.
Lead with Adaptability: Pivot and evolve without losing focus.
Lead with Boldness: Take courageous action, even in uncertainty.
Lead with Clarity: Simplify complexity for yourself and your team.
Lead with Community (We): Foster connection and collaboration at every level.
Lead with Compassion: Prioritize humanity in every decision.
"We’re entering an age where leaders can no longer get away with surveillance, micro-management, or lip service to culture. People demand, and deserve, leaders who create clarity, build trust, and lead with courage," says Tim Salau. "Zen Leadership offers the blueprint."
Unlike abstract leadership theories, The 7 Habits of Zen Leadership provides hands-on tools—from reflective prompts and team exercises to organizational design strategies. Readers will learn how to:
Build hybrid teams that thrive through clarity and adaptability.
Replace burnout with sustainable cultural rituals.
Transform “check-the-box” DEI efforts into authentic community building.
Reclaim trust as the most valuable leadership currency.
This book is designed for executives, founders, and emerging leaders who know the old playbooks no longer work. It is equal parts practical and provocative, challenging leaders to design workplaces that are more innovative, inclusive, and human.
Availability:
The 7 Habits of Zen Leadership launches globally on October 8, 2025 in eBook format, followed by paperback on January 7, 2026, and audiobook in Spring 2026.
Pre-orders are available now via Amazon and at Tim Salau’s official pre-launch page.
