NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As business leaders brace for AI disruption, shifting macro conditions, and mounting burnout, former Marvel Entertainment CEO Peter Cuneo is introducing a new leadership playbook grounded in real turnaround experience.
On February 20—National Leadership Day—Cuneo will debut Superhero Leadership: 28 Ways to Lead with Courage, Strength, and Compassion (Skyhorse, February 3, 2026). The book offers a practical framework built from Cuneo’s widely studied turnaround of Marvel, which he led from bankruptcy to a $4.5 billion sale to Disney in 2009.
Superhero Leadership
With 28 actionable principles, the book argues that courage, clarity, and compassion are the differentiators in high-stakes environments where strategy alone is no longer enough.
“Leaders today are operating without a settled framework,” said Cuneo. “The ones who succeed combine disciplined decision-making with the humanity to bring others through change.”
Cuneo is available for media commentary on current leadership challenges, including:
CEO priorities in 2026: culture, execution, and capacity
AI policy and guardrails: what leaders must get right
Retention and burnout: why compassion matters operationally
Turnaround leadership vs. growth leadership in volatile markets
Cuneo also hosts the Superhero Leadership podcast and offers the Superhero Leadership app for personal leadership development.
