The Leadership Blindside

What Happens When Life Disrupts Work.

A New Book by Dr. Nataliya Boychenko Stone

When life disrupts work, most leaders are unprepared. Organizations have playbooks for business crises—but not for human ones.

We don’t have a talent crisis — we have a humanity crisis.

The Leadership Blindside offers a roadmap for what to do when employees face personal upheaval—grief, illness, caregiving, divorce —and how leaders and organizations can respond with empathy, structure, and purpose.

Grounded in original Ph.D. research and two decades of consulting experience, this book bridges the gap between intention and action. It combines data, real-world stories, and practical frameworks to help leaders show up when it matters most—turning moments of disruption into opportunities for trust, loyalty, and growth.

Nataliya blends research, lived experience, and professional insight to reveal both sides of the leadership blindside—what it feels like to lead through crisis and to be led through one.

Why it matters

In a world where burnout, turnover, and disengagement are on the rise, The Leadership Blindside reminds us that compassion is not a soft skill—it’s a leadership imperative. When we prepare for life’s hardest moments, we strengthen the very fabric of our organizations.
