Books by Chris Barnhill
Two books. One to lead yourself better. One to fix how your organization executes.
MINDSET SNACKS
Tiny Prompts for a Better Day
Most books ask you to sit down and read 300 pages before anything lands.
Mindset Snacks was built for how people actually live. Open it anywhere. Each page is one idea, short enough to read before your next meeting and practical enough to try the same day.
No chapters to finish. No program to follow. Pick it up when you need it. Put it down when you don't. Keep it on your desk, in your bag, or by your bed.
This is not self-help. It is a small, useful companion for the middle of a hard week.

EXECUTION DEBT
Your company doesn't have a strategy problem.
It has an execution problem. And the source is usually the leader everyone trusts most.
Execution Debt is the hidden organizational cost created when a company stops building capability and starts borrowing capacity from its most available leader. It accumulates quietly, one reasonable decision at a time. The interest compounds in burnout, bottlenecks, and teams that have stopped developing.
This book is for leaders who recognize the pattern. It names the behaviors that create Execution Debt, explains why they get mistaken for dedication and ownership, and gives operators a practical framework for getting out.
