SixPack Leadership
What beer can teach you about brewing successful teams
by Steven F. Beers
“It took me a year to start truly developing that mindset. But that moment, it was the first crack in the shell of my ego, and the start of my fermentation as a leader.”
Leadership books are everywhere. Most of them feel like a lukewarm lecture in a stuffy boardroom. This one feels more like pulling up a barstool and having an honest conversation about what it really takes to lead.
In SixPack Leadership, readers discover six “brews” of leadership, each inspired by the world’s favorite beverage. From the easy-drinking camaraderie of a Session Ale to the refined resilience of a Barrel-Aged brew, every chapter connects a style of beer with a practical leadership principle you can put to work immediately. These are not recycled theories. They’re field-tested lessons shaped by decades of leading teams through growth, crisis, and everything in between.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Build authentic trust that lasts longer than the latest corporate initiative
Turn everyday challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation
Keep your team energized without burning them out
Create a culture people are proud to belong to—and eager to protect
The 2nd Edition serves up fresh stories, updated research, and sharper strategies to meet today’s leadership challenges. It’s packed with relatable examples, candid truths, and just enough humor to keep it real.
Whether you’re running a small crew or steering an entire organization, SixPack Leadership will help you lead with more clarity, adaptability, and impact—without losing the human connection that makes teams thrive.
Written by Steven F. Beers, a veteran leader, business coach, and unapologetic fan of both a good pint and a great team, this is leadership advice you’ll actually want to read. And maybe even re-read, preferably with your favorite brew in hand.
