Breaking Corporate Silence is the first extensively researched book that examines the causes and consequences of silence and voice in organizations. It provides a compelling framework for understanding why people stay silent at work — and what high-influence leaders can do about it.
Based on years of original research and real-world consulting experience, this book gives leaders the tools to diagnose their organizational culture, understand their own role in perpetuating silence, and take concrete steps to build a Culture of Voice — where candor, courage, and collaboration drive performance.

The Seven Myths of Leadership in Business
In today's complex, rapidly changing business environment, leaders need more than inspiration and platitudes — they need clarity, rigor, and real insight. Dr. Rob Bogosian challenges the conventional wisdom that has long shaped how organizations select, develop, and evaluate leaders.
Drawing on decades of research and consulting experience, he identifies seven pervasive myths that lead well-intentioned managers astray — and replaces each with a more honest, effective, and evidence-based framework for leadership. This book gives managers the information they need to lead in a complex world where platitudes have a minimal place.
Seven Myths Examined
Each myth is analyzed through research, real examples, and actionable alternatives.
For All Leaders
Relevant to managers at every level — from emerging leaders to C-suite executives.

Disruption-Ready Leadership: Thriving in the VUCA World
For the past two decades, change management has been the dominant grammar of corporate transformation. It has also become inadequate to the conditions in which today's senior leaders actually operate.
Disruption-Ready Leadership introduces a successor framework — one designed for an environment in which volatility is continuous rather than episodic, in which the cost of a single hour of downtime exceeds $300,000 for ninety percent of large enterprises, and in which the organizations that built integrated resilience programs delivered 150% higher cumulative shareholder returns than their peers over the decade following the last financial crisis.
The framework is the work of two practitioner-scholars. Dr. Rob Bogosian, founder of RVB Associates and former Chief Talent Officer at Wachovia, has spent thirty years inside the leadership development practices of Fortune 100 institutions, including ongoing strategic advisory work with Mass General Brigham, Prudential Insurance Company, Microsoft and more.
In Disruption-Ready Leadership, he offers senior leaders three things that rarely arrive in the same volume: a coherent theoretical model grounded in peer-reviewed evidence, a tactical playbook for the Diagnosis–Recovery–Renewal phases of any disruptive event, and a competency architecture suitable for board-level conversations about succession, culture, and risk.
