Lead, Follow, Love: Authority Transfer Relationships

By Dan & Dawn Williams, Kevin & Katie Casey

Book cover

An Authority Transfer Relationship is a negotiated, consensual, non-egalitarian relationship style. The four authors of this book have lived and loved this way for over twenty years per couple. Lead Follow Love contains some of the most intimate and difficult topics the authors could find, answered with a brutal time-limit to force unfiltered and authentic responses.

The authors’ plan:

  • 30 questions
  • 30 minutes to answer each question
  • 4 individual journal-style answers per question
  • No discussion before or during writing
  • Spew out wisdom, tears and laughter
  • Deliver uncensored and authentic responses

These are the authors’ love letters to Authority Transfer relationships, shared with vulnerability. They hope their musings will be valuable but also that this book will inspire exploration, discussion, and the creation of customized relationships.

Lead, Follow, Love: Companion Journal

Our goal in writing Lead Follow Love was to delve into our personal answers to challenging questions about Authority Transfer – but without filters and polish. We didn’t want to write a book that was sanitized and scrubbed. Instead we wanted it to be our private answers, largely written in a journal-style exploration of the topic.

It was somewhere just after the half-way point in the writing that we realized that we were experiencing an amazing process. We were growing, sharing, exploring, learning. We were coming to understand ourselves better, and those with whom we wrote and shared. We realized, and many of you might have figured this out much sooner, that we should give the readers the opportunity to have the same experience. Simply reading our words could be half the journey and then… yes, and then they could finish the journey with their own exploration, in their own journal, in their own words! We encourage you to dig into these explorations boldly. Delve deep. Maybe share the results with a partner who is exploring alongside you. (113 pages, 6″x9″)
