The Leadership Detour is a deeply personal and powerful memoir-meets-leadership guide by Dr. Tammi Fleming. Blending lived experience with professional insight, she shares her unexpected journey from early career success to profound personal transformation. Through heartfelt storytelling and coaching wisdom, she explores the essential leadership shifts-from technical expertise to emotional intelligence, from performance to presence, and from chasing titles to building a legacy.
Drawing from her upbringing in New Orleans, her work across the federal, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors, and her experiences mentoring and coaching emerging leaders, Dr. Fleming reframes leadership as a journey of becoming-one shaped not by perfection, but by resilience, reflection, and realignment.
The Leadership Detour offers inspiration, encouragement, and a roadmap for professionals navigating transitions, leadership plateaus, or the quiet call to lead with greater authenticity and purpose.
