26 years of leadership
High-stakes Navy leadership distilled into a $49.95 playbook
For the new manager still figuring it out on instinct and hoping no one notices
Does this sound like you?
You were good at the work, so they gave you people, and no one showed you how to lead them.
You open your calendar to schedule the hard conversation, then close it and tell yourself tomorrow.
You lead people who used to be lunch buddies, and now every task you assign gets pushback.
You give clear direction, and what comes back is not what you asked for.
You sit in every meeting quietly afraid someone will realize you're running on instinct.
A 48-question self-assessment that names your exact leadership gap instead of a generic list.
A personalized Leadership Snapshot showing where Clarity, Accountability, Trust, and Growth break down.
Four pillar scorecards that turn your results into one prioritized thing to work on first.
A 30-day leadership commitment that converts what you learn into a dated, followed-through plan.
Workplace scripts and exercises for the hard conversations you keep postponing.

What's Included in Your Playbook
The Outboxed Leadership Journey
See the four leadership stages, from Reactive to Multiplying, and pinpoint exactly where you operate today and what moves you to the next.
The Clarity Pillar
Set expectations your team can actually agree to, so direction stops coming back as "that wasn't my understanding."
The Accountability Pillar
Hold people to commitments in a way that is fair and consistent, without coming off too soft to change anything or too rigid to trust.
The Trust Pillar
Reset the relationship with former peers and direct reports, so respect replaces pushback and awkward silence.
The Growth Pillar
Stop firefighting and start leading on purpose, with a defined path from reactive to intentional leadership.
The 48-Question Deep Dive
A self-assessment with scorecards that surfaces your real blind spots across all four pillars and turns them into a prioritized focus.
IN THEIR WORDS
What new managers are saying...
" I'd been faking confidence for months. The Deep Dive finally named what I was avoiding and gave me a script for the conversation I kept postponing. "
" Leading my former teammates felt impossible. The Trust pillar gave me a way to reset it without pretending nothing changed. "
" I'd read books and saved articles I never reopened. This told me exactly where I stood and what to work on first, then held me to a 30-day plan. "
INSIDE THE PLAYBOOK
Leadership Challenges You'll Learn to Handle.
Set the Clarity. Say out loud what success looks like for each person, so direction stops coming back as "that wasn't my understanding" every time.
Have the Hard Talk. Walk into the conversation you keep postponing with a structure instead of dread, and address problems early and directly.
Drop the Imposter Act. Stop faking confidence in every meeting and lead like someone who belongs, with tools for the parts that are actually hard.
Find Your Starting Point. Pinpoint the exact leadership stage you operate at today and know precisely what to work on first, instead of guessing.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Meet Martin White
I didn't learn leadership from a textbook. I spent 26 years in the U.S. Navy leading people through global operations, logistics, training and crisis response, eventually retiring as a Senior Chief. After transitioning into civilian organizational development and project leadership, I kept seeing the same problem: technically capable people were being promoted into management without being taught how to lead people. I built this playbook for them.
26 years as a U.S. Navy senior enlisted leader, retiring as Senior Chief across global operations and crisis response.
The only active duty Senior Chief at his command qualified as a Level 2 Coxswain and Senior Instructor, a distinction earned, not assigned.
Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and ICF Associate Certified Coach (ICF ACC).
Certified Organizational Development Coach, Change Management Coach, and Six Sigma Green Belt.
Author of the book 'Outboxed: A Life Uncontained,' drawn from his own journey out of extreme poverty.
Founder and principal of Outboxed LLC, coaching emerging and mid-level managers.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've read leadership books and watched the YouTube videos, so what does this actually give me that free advice doesn't?
Free content hands you disconnected opinions and assumes you already know your specific gaps. The Outboxed Leadership Playbook starts with a 48-question Deep Dive that produces a personalized Leadership Snapshot, then gives you a sequenced path through Clarity, Accountability, Trust, and Growth with scorecards and a built-in 30-day commitment, so you know exactly what to work on first.
I'm buried in firefighting and barely have time to manage my team, so how am I supposed to work through a whole playbook?
That overwhelmed, reactive state is exactly the condition this was built for. The 30-day leadership commitment means you don't clear your calendar or complete a 40-hour course; the self-assessment and scorecards give you one specific, prioritized focus to act on immediately.
Is $49.95 really enough to move the needle on something as serious as leadership?
$49.95 gives you the complete system with no subscription and no required upsell. You get the 89-page playbook, the 48-question self-assessment with personalized scoring, four pillar scorecards, reflection exercises, leadership challenges, and a recorded video from Martin, all accessible immediately after checkout.
