Grace Under Pressure

Grace Stillman thought she was thriving-until things began to unravel.

As the manager of VirtuPath Inc.'s celebrated EverAscend team, Grace is known for delivering results and is seen as a rising star with aspirations to one day lead as CEO of the business. But as the pressure mounts, the company's grind culture takes its toll-on her team and on Grace herself-in ways she can no longer ignore.

When Victor Graves, VirtuPath's ambitious CEO, introduces a revolutionary employee achievement program featuring cutting-edge badges designed to boost motivation and productivity, Grace hopes it will be a game-changer. But the badges instead expose cracks that run far deeper than she ever imagined.

Navigating the demands of her career and personal life, Grace begins to see the toxic effects of unchecked ambition and relentless striving. With guidance from a trusted mentor, she embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about the culture she's immersed in-and discovers a way forward that could change everything.

Through Grace's journey, Shae Bynes (author of Grace Over Grind) invites readers to rethink how they lead in business and life. The story is followed by a practical framework that equips marketplace leaders to build thriving teams and achieve sustainable success in their own organizations. This powerful combination of story and actionable insight offers a transformative approach to handling the pressures of leadership without losing yourself-or your team-in the process.

Perfect for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders, Grace Under Pressure is a compelling allegory that will leave you inspired to challenge the status quo, build cultures where people flourish, and embrace a grace-filled way of leading and living.

Sometimes, the pressure isn't the problem. It's how we choose to handle it.
