Anatomy & Physiology of Leadership
by Alan & Nick Brunacini
Leadership, the Bruno way — human, practical, and built from the inside out.
In this unique and insightful book, Chief Alan Brunacini breaks down leadership through the most relatable model possible: the human body. From the brain (thinking clearly) to the ears (truly listening), the mouth (communicating with purpose), and the heart (caring for your people), he shows how each “anatomical function” translates into real-world leadership behaviors.
Then, Nick Brunacini takes the baton and brings each concept to life with candid, real-world examples from the fireground, the firehouse, and beyond — where leadership gets tested, challenged, and proven.
Straightforward, humble, and rooted in service, Anatomy & Physiology of Leadership delivers practical lessons for anyone responsible for taking care of others — from aspiring leaders to seasoned command officers.
A must-read for those who believe leadership is more than rank — it’s how you treat people, how you communicate, and how you show up every single day.
