Focused
Most sales organizations don't lose performance suddenly.
They lose it quietly.
Standards soften.
Coaching slips.
Urgency replaces discipline.
Calendars fill. Leaders stay busy. Escalations increase.
And somewhere along the way, execution drifts.
By the time revenue misses show up, the damage is already done.
Forecast confidence drops. Deal quality declines. Revenue becomes harder to predict.
FOCUSED explains why this happens - and how senior sales leaders prevent it.
This is not a sales methodology book.
It's not motivation.
And it's not another leadership theory.
FOCUSED is a leadership operating discipline for Chief Revenue Officers, VPs of Sales, and senior sales leaders who are responsible for performance at scale - and who need execution to hold when pressure shows up.
It becomes the operating spine for how leaders coach, enforce standards, and protect execution across the organization.
Steven Rosen names the problem most organizations never diagnose:
Not lack of effort.
Not poor strategy.
But the slow erosion of focus as urgency overrides standards.
FOCUSED gives leaders a practical framework for protecting the few critical behaviors that actually drive results:
- Enforcing coaching even when deals are on fire
- Holding standards when quarters get tight
- Preventing leaders from becoming the escalation point
- Turning accountability into daily behavior, not quarterly intention
This book is for leaders who:
✓ Are tired of repeating expectations
✓ Are carrying execution personally
✓ See activity rising while performance stalls
✓ Know their "Three Things" but struggle to protect them under pressure
✓ Want predictable execution instead of constant escalation
This book is not for:
✗ Leaders looking for reassurance
✗ Teams chasing tactics without discipline
✗ Organizations that confuse motion with progress
With a foreword by Mike Weinberg, FOCUSED delivers a blunt, practical manual for building leadership discipline that survives real-world pressure.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Diagnose execution drift before revenue suffers
- Install operating standards that managers actually enforce
- Build coaching consistency across leadership layers
- Replace heroic effort with leadership infrastructure
- Create execution stability without micromanagement
FOCUSED doesn't ask leaders to do more.
It teaches them how to protect what matters.
Steven Rosen works with CROs and VP Sales teams globally to install leadership discipline that holds under pressure.
If you're a CRO or VP of Sales responsible for results - and you're done letting urgency dictate leadership - this book gives you the operating discipline to make performance hold.

Access: Inside the Abortion Underground and the Sixty-Year Battle for Reproductive Freedom
From the award-winning author of Birth, a journey into the underground activist networks that have been working to protect women's autonomy over their bodies amidst legal, political, religious, and cultural oppression over the past sixty years. In this definitive, eye-opening history, award-winning author Rebecca Grant charts the reproductive freedom movement from the days before Roe through the seismic impact of Dobbs. The stories in Access span four continents, tracing strategies across generations and borders. Grant centers those activists who have been engaged in direct action to help people get the abortions they need. Their efforts involve no small measure of daring-do, spy craft, sea adventures, close calls, undercover operations, smuggling, sequins, legal dramas, victories, defeats, and above all, a deeply held conviction that all the risks are worth it for the cause. In Access, we meet a cast of brave, bold, and unforgettable women: the founders of the Jane Collective, a group of anonymous providers working clandestinely between Chicago apartments to perform abortions in the pre-Roe years; the originators and leaders of the abortion fund movement; Verónica Cruz Sánchez, a Mexican activist who works to support self-managed abortion with pills and fights to free women targeted by the criminalization of abortion; and Rebecca Gomperts, a Dutch doctor who realizes that there is one place abortion bans cannot reach: international waters. Post-Dobbs, activist groups have once again stepped up and put themselves on the line to resist. Building on the work of their feminist forebearers and international allies, they are charting new pathways for access in the face of unprecedented acts to subjugate and control half of America's population. Working above ground, underground, and in legal gray areas, they've helped people travel across state lines for care, established telehealth practices, and formed community networks to distribute pills for free to people who needed them. Drawing on expert research and investigative reporting, told with deep compassion and humanity by a journalist who has spent her career on the frontlines of the fight, Access celebrates the bravery, ingenuity, and determination of women across decades who have fought for a fundamental human right--and serves as an inspiring rallying cry for the work that lies ahead.Sold out -

The first cries began at dawn. By nightfall, the great city of Saan was nothing but ash and silence.
The King's Army marches east, sworn to wipe out the mysterious Gray Cloaks, traitors accused of wielding a banished magic long dismissed as myth.
Magnus, a young officer more eager to return home than to march into enemy lands, begins to question the war with every burned village and every unsettling encounter. What truth lies beneath the King's banners, and what price is being paid to preserve them?
Elsewhere across Lavonshia, Aurelia knows nothing of war until the Gray Cloaks disrupt her village's Harvest Festival with a dire warning. Forced to flee the only home she has ever known, she must decide whether to trust strangers branded as enemies or watch her people fall to a rising darkness.
As soldiers march, villages burn, and loyalties are tested, other lives are drawn into the conflict. Each carries pieces of a truth long buried.
Ancient forces awaken. Prophecy stirs.
And somewhere in the chaos, the Storm Grazer must rise -
or the coming darkness will consume everything.
Storm Grazer Rising is the first book in The Lavonshia Chronicles, an epic fantasy series of forbidden magic, clashing truths, and intertwined destinies in a world that has forgotten them.
Editorial Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
"In the beginnings of a war against a group of mysterious, magical beings, a young woman learns of her own connection to
an ancient prophecy in Munger's fantasy series-starter.
In the Kingdom of Lavonshia's rural province of Dorak, 21-year-old Aurelia Talbot lives a quiet life with her father in a
village called Chelam. It's a peaceful place, unaffected by war or crime, but other parts of Lavonshia aren't as lucky.
Recently, the city of Saan was decimated, with the entire population disappearing. The accused perpetrators are members
of a mysterious nearby group of clans called Gray Cloaks, who have magical abilities and maintain peaceful relations with
Dorakians. A group of Gray Cloaks appear in Chelam and announce that the Ka-the king's army-is headed their way,
and that Aurelia's in danger-and she must leave Chelam with the Gray Cloaks immediately. Aurelia departs with a Gray
Cloak named Daphne, accompanied by best friend Eken and Col, the son of Chelam's most prominent family, who wishes
to marry Aurelia. Daphne reveals that Aurelia is at the center of a prophecy about a Storm Grazer: "one who rides the
storm clouds and holds lightening in hand." Meanwhile, the Ka are seeking the missing people of Saan, killing any Gray
Cloaks they encounter. Ka soldier Magnus Alwyn is wracked with guilt after his unit massacres a Gray Cloak village, and
he isn't the only disillusioned soldier; later, Daphne saves him and his comrades from a pack of Shadow-Wolves. In this
fantasy novel, Munger presents a tale of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. The author's love for the genre is palpable on
every page; the compelling tale is populated with intriguing characters throughout, and the worldbuilding is convincing and
sound. Readers are likely to enjoy the detailed and sometimes playful descriptions of the various players most of all; they
include NoNo, a catlike creature who "possessed the peculiar ability to blend in with his surroundings, invisible to any who
glanced his way. With a whisk of his tail, he became a stray bolt of cloth tumbling along the street, or a mischief of mice
scurrying across a room."
An engaging tale of prophecy and magic with solid characters and mythology."

House on 9th Line: A Memoir of Grief and the End of a Family
The House on 9th Line is a raw and deeply personal memoir about love, loss, and the unravelling of a family bound by tradition but broken by silence, favouritism, and emotional wounds left unhealed.
Set against the backdrop of a modest yet symbolic family home in a small town north of Toronto, Aaron Bangay takes readers on a reflective journey through generations shaped by war, trauma, addiction, and misplaced loyalty. At the heart of the story is his grandfather, Roland, a kind, steadfast man whose unconditional love held the family together until his death marked the beginning of the family's gradual disintegration.
Bangay contrasts Roland's quiet wisdom and emotional generosity with the dysfunction that emerged in his absence. Through vivid storytelling and unflinching honesty, the author explores the manipulations of a narcissistic grandmother, the deep scars of parental favouritism, and the lasting impact of addiction and financial betrayal.
This book isn't just about the house; it's about the legacy of those who lived within its walls. Bangay examines how inherited trauma and unhealthy coping mechanisms shaped the lives of his grandparents, parents, and extended family. As the bonds of kinship frayed, rivalries intensified, and communication broke down, leaving emotional wreckage and estranged relationships.
Despite the heartbreak, The House on 9th Line is also a story of healing, remembrance, and reclaiming truth. With tenderness and courage, Bangay writes to honour the memory of the man who taught him decency, compassion, and the power of being not just nice, but truly good.
For anyone who has struggled with family loyalty, experienced the pain of grief, or sought meaning in the face of generational trauma, this memoir offers insight, catharsis, and a reminder that sometimes, we must tell our stories not to rewrite the past, but to understand it.

Onement Won
Following her acclaimed Grief Sequence, Prageeta Sharma's newest collection, Onement Won, is at once a contemplation and a sharp critique. Having been twice widowed to cancer, Sharma questions the various relationships--familial, social, romantic, religious--that have shaped her identity.
Inspired by Barnett Newman's Onement series as well as many texts including the Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gita, Goethe's Faust, and Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals, these poems explore the concept of oneness in Hinduism, Abstract Expressionism, and selfhood in an attempt at "onement with lyric certainty," a way through ideas of prosody to a clearer sense of what is needed in freedom, suffering, and art-making. The result is a stunning work that invokes ancient wisdom into an understanding of self-care that is fiercely anticolonial and anticapitalist, while holding space for suffering as a site of transformation for us individually and collectively.
