LEADERSHIP PROBLEMS ARE BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS.
Professionals do not need another collection of leadership slogans. They need practical ways to understand why performance occurs, how environments influence behavior, how leaders shape culture, how consequences affect workplace behavior, and how to diagnose problems before jumping to solutions. That’s what we teach.
MASTER SCIENCE-BASED LEADERSHIP WITH THE OBM EDGE
GUIDE ACTION WITH SCIENCE
OBM Edge Academy brings applied behavior analysis out of the clinical setting and into the boardroom, the org chart, and the daily decisions that determine whether a team thrives or stagnates. You leave with frameworks that work — not theories that sound good in a seminar.

Leading Amongst the Storms: A Leadership Fable for the ABA Field
Every organization faces storms — rapid growth, staff turnover, ethical pressure, burnout, and the weight of leadership decisions that affect real people and real lives. Leading Amongst the Storms tells the story of one leader navigating all of it, grounded in the principles of organizational behavior management and written for anyone who faces such storms.
This isn’t a textbook and it isn’t a motivational fable. It’s a story about what it actually looks like to lead when the science meets the reality, the complexity, the competing demands, and the moments that define a leader’s character. Whether you’re a BCBA stepping into a management role for the first time or a seasoned director building the next generation of leaders, this book was written for you.
