This isn’t another leadership book filled with 2x2 models and jargon.
It’s for managers stuck in the middle — between clueless bosses, confused teams, and KPIs that don’t make sense.
Ducking Nonsense calls out what leadership is really like at work: messy, uncertain, human.
No Drama. No lectures. Just sharp stories, blunt truths, and practical nudges to help you lead better — without burning out your way through.
“Many believe that leaders are from Mars. This book is from where the actual mess happens.”
“IF YOU’VE EVER NODDED IN A MEETING AND THOUGHT, ‘THIS IS COMPLETE NONSENSE,’ — YOU’RE NOT WRONG. YOU’RE JUST READY.”
Read it. Highlight it. Share it. Or just keep it on your desk as a quiet protest.

Santosh Dayal
Santosh Dayal spent 25 years watching grown adults pretend their Excel sheets were leadership. From boardrooms to off-sites to breakout rooms — he’s seen the good, the bad, and the nonsense that passes for leadership. He’s trained thousands, coached hundreds, and ducked enough nonsense to know what works (and what absolutely doesn’t).
This book isn’t his TED Talk. It’s his truth serum. When he’s not writing or helping managers clean up their act, you’ll find him observing workplace patterns no spreadsheet can measure — and making sense of it all one conversation at a time.
This is not his manifesto. It’s your manager’s mirror.
