EAST HAMPTON, NY, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Chaos Reveals It: Leadership Lessons and Stories from the Front Lines of 9/11, Disasters, Diplomacy, Business, and Beyond by Bradford E. Billet, OBE, CEM, became an Amazon No. 1 Bestseller following its debut at the East Hampton Library’s 22nd Annual Authors Night in Herrick Park.
Billet joined 100 participating authors at the Annual Authors Night and was among a select group interviewed during WLIW-FM’s live broadcast from the event. His interview with Michael Mackey is available on the WLIW-FM YouTube channel.
On Wednesday, August 26, 2026, Billet will appear at Conversations at The Hedges Inn in East Hampton, NY for a discussion about Chaos Reveals It and the lessons leaders can draw from moments of crisis and uncertainty.
Billet has also taped an appearance for News 12’s beWell in a segment examining the leadership lessons of September 11 and their continuing relevance today. The broadcast date in September 9 and 11th.
Part memoir and part practical leadership guide, Chaos Reveals It draws on Billet’s more than three decades of leading through some of the most consequential crises of the modern era. From the response to TWA Flight 800 and the attacks of September 11 to the 1996 merger of New York City EMS into the FDNY, international diplomacy and business, the book examines what leaders must do when plans collapse, information is incomplete and people need direction.
“Chaos does not destroy leadership. It reveals it,” Billet said. “These lessons were earned in real moments, with real consequences. I wrote this book to help people prepare for the moment when they are called upon to lead.”
The book introduces Billet’s STAT™ System — Strategic, Tactical, Adaptive and Timely — a practical framework for assessing complex situations, making decisions and adapting as circumstances change. It also explores recurring leadership principles, including controlling the controllable, recognizing patterns, telling the truth early and stepping into the vacuum when leadership is needed.
Authors Night is the East Hampton Library’s annual literary fundraiser and one of the country’s largest library-author events. Proceeds support the Library’s programs and services throughout the year. Event information is available at https://authorsnight.org.
