Leadership Superpowers
Your 90-Day Leadership Transformation
By Gregor N. Purdy
Transform Your Leadership in Just 90 Days
Most leaders waste 80% of their time on the wrong capabilities. After two decades leading teams at Apple, Amazon, and beyond, Gregor Purdy built a framework based on one insight: exceptional leaders aren’t well-rounded—they’re strategically focused on what matters most in their role.
The Problem with Generic Leadership Advice
Most leadership advice assumes you need everything. You don’t—you need the right thing. Yet you sit through the same training as everyone else, working on competencies that don’t matter for your role. Meanwhile, the one or two capabilities that would actually transform your results? Completely ignored.
A Systematic Framework for Targeted Growth
Leadership Superpowers introduces 13 essential leadership capabilities organized into five categories:
✅ Executive Superpowers: The “why, what, and how” of getting things done.
✅ Team Superpowers: Finding, growing, and keeping great people.
✅ Capability Superpowers: Aiming well, seeing clearly, and finding workable solutions.
✅ Character Superpowers: Doing what's right, serving others, persisting through obstacles.
✅ Multiplier Superpower: The influence that amplifies everything else.
Your Focused 90-Day Action Plan
Through systematic assessment exercises, you’ll identify which 1–2 Superpowers will create the greatest impact for your specific role and organization. You’ll diagnose your strengths and gaps with concrete examples, then build targeted capabilities through deliberate practice—transforming from overwhelmed to focused and effective.
Who This Book Is For
Leadership transitions are inflection points. The role changes, the stakes rise, and suddenly your old instincts aren’t enough. This framework is for leaders navigating that shift—ready to accelerate into their next level of impact with precision tools, not generic advice.
The Story
I’ve spent 20+ years leading teams at Apple, Amazon, and high-growth startups. I’ve coached leaders across industries and levels. And I’ve watched too many talented people waste time developing the wrong skills.
Leadership Superpowers is different. It’s a systematic framework that helps leaders identify their 1–2 highest-leverage development areas and transform their effectiveness in 90 days.
This book will help leaders:
✅ Stop wasting 80% of their development time on capabilities that don’t matter in their context
✅ Identify which of 13 Leadership Superpowers actually drive results in their role
✅ Build targeted capabilities that create measurable impact
✅ Lead with confidence instead of second-guessing every decision
