You got promoted. You proved yourself. And now you're doing work that doesn't match the role you're in - solving problems your team should own, avoiding conversations that would change everything, and wondering why the thing that used to work doesn't anymore.

The Right Altitude is built from real coaching conversations with senior leaders at companies like Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and AT&T. It's not theory. It's the pattern - the same pattern that shows up in every leader who gets promoted past the point where their old playbook works.

Across 12 chapters and 48 named tools, executive coach Don Eash (MCC, ACTC) walks you through the inner game, the people game, the organizational game, and the long game of leadership. Every chapter gives you tools you can use this week - not frameworks to study, but mirrors to look into and moves to make.

This is the book for the role nobody prepared you for.

Industry Reviews

"I reached the CIO role in part because Don Eash asked me the right hard questions at the right moments - first as my leader, then as my coach. The Right Altitude is those questions in book form. For any leader wondering why the higher they climb the harder it gets, Don has the answer. And unlike most leadership books, he also has the practical tools to do something about it." - Paulette Haedo, Chief Information Officer, Azamara

"The Right Altitude puts language to something Don taught me long ago: that the skills that build your career are not always the ones that will sustain it. Don has sat in the rooms his clients are sitting in. That lived experience - across 30 years in executive leadership and thousands of hours coaching leaders at every level - is what makes this book different. It's not theory. It's field-tested wisdom I've seen in action." - Scott Lobaugh, Executive Vice President, Admissions, SSA Group

"The Right Altitude is a masterclass in modern leadership. Having worked with Don for nearly eight months during a pivotal transition in my career, I experienced firsthand his ability to gently and persistently dismantle the mindsets that limit our potential. This book perfectly captures his transformative approach to overcoming imposter syndrome and burnout, offering a clear roadmap for any leader looking to operate at their highest level." - Blessing Nnachi, Consulting Delivery Leader, Google Cloud Consulting

"Don Eash has a rare ability to cut through the noise and get to what actually matters. The Right Altitude captures that - real patterns, real tools, and the kind of honest perspective that changes how you lead. I wish I'd had this book years ago." - Han Lange, Sr. Director of Global Supply Chain & Contract Manufacturing, Shockwave Medical
