Drift is silent — until it isn't. A military-inspired 9-step system that gives leaders the structure to see it coming, stop it early, and lead their teams forward with precision.
Jay Richards is the founder of Darken Ship Solutions Inc. and creator of The Standdown Framework — a leadership reset system rooted in discipline, accountability, and operational clarity.
With over two decades in high-stakes environments, Jay developed the Standdown concept as a tool for corporate leaders to pause, realign, and move forward with clarity and precision when it matters most.
A repeatable process for leaders who refuse to accept drift as inevitable. Pause with purpose. Reset with precision. Advance.
The book gives you the mindset, structure, and language. The workbook gives you the tools to execute. Together, they deliver a complete leadership reset.
