Administrative Intelligence cover

With its tools to build scalable infrastructure from the outset and make businesses more agile, efficient, and resilient, this book navigates the complex and often competing approaches found in business, management, and social science research to provide a straightforward model with practical guidance for companies to streamline administrative systems, reduce inefficiencies, and prevent organizational burnout.

Providing a clear, practical alternative to quick-fix tools and management fads, this book guides leaders in solving three key problems undermining organizations today: (1) employee burnout and turnover; (2) constant
updates and changes to technology resources; and (3) the inability of organizational infrastructure to keep up in a perpetually shifting and fast‑paced environment. Written by consultant‑researchers specializing in behavior, evidence‑based practice, and ethics, this book equips CEOs, COOs, entrepreneurs, and organizational leaders with proven strategies to address burnout, streamline workflows, and unite multigenerational teams. It also demonstrates how to embed values into daily operations, eliminate bottlenecks, and harness the best ideas across the organization.
Readers will learn to evaluate technology for its true impact, build agility, and create a high‑performing infrastructure that hums in the background while the business thrives.

The actionable, evidence‑based strategies presented in this book are ideal for senior managers and leaders, as well as business and leadership students, particularly in organizations facing change due to AI and the tech startup and nonprofit sectors.

''As a psychologist, consultant, business owner, and faculty, the most consistent challenge I've seen leaders face is unnecessary people problems that stem from insufficient operational infrastructure. Administrative Intelligence is the most comprehensive, practical book I've seen for successfully implementing strong operations in any organization.''

Dr. Mira Brancu, Towerscope & Duke University

''Administrative Intelligence gives early-career leaders what they wish they could have learned sooner: how organizations actually work. Connecting values, leadership, and systems, it shows how real decisions get made—and how emerging leaders can create impact well before they hold formal power.''

Thomas D’Aunno, Ph.D., New York University

''Administrative Intelligence emerges from lived experience across all levels of organizations. It speaks directly to the organizational design puzzles I grapple with daily and provides a strong foundation for leadership teams to build shared understanding around internal challenges and opportunities for refinement.''

Delaney Keating, strategist and business developer
