The Human-Rooted Leadership™ Trilogy

Three books, one story, and the leadership approach behind it.

REBELS & TRIBES · Book 1

Founder Jack Woodson built a company he loves, and now it is splitting into two tribes. When his rising star considers leaving, Jack discovers that every fix he has tried treats the symptoms, not the roots.

UNMARKED TRAIL · Book 2

Evergreen survived its crisis. Now it faces a quieter test. As Mark steps back from leadership, Haley Soren must step forward and discover that great talent alone does not make a great leader. In Book 2 of the Human-Rooted Leadership Trilogy from Rootstock, Tony Woodall follows Haley's journey from star performer to Human-Rooted leader, deepening the framework introduced in Rebels & Tribes with practical tools for developing the next generation of leaders.

THE GREATER WORK · Book 3

Jack Woodson built Evergreen into a thriving, human-rooted company. Now he faces the question every founder eventually must answer: what happens next? Rather than simply selling what he built, Jack sets out to hand Evergreen to the next generation, Haley and Victoria, with intention. In the final book of the Human-Rooted Leadership Trilogy from Rootstock, Tony Woodall shows founders and CEOs how to turn success into a legacy that outlasts them.
