GCE Strategic Consulting Founder Ken Paskins Releases The Integrator Edge, an Amazon Bestseller Focused on Closing the Execution Gap

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New book gives founders, Visionaries and business leaders a practical look at the leadership, accountability and operating discipline required to turn vision into scalable growth

ATLANTA, Ga. – August 17, 2026 – GCE Strategic Consulting, a provider of fractional executive leadership, executive recruiting, and leadership development services, today announced the release of The Integrator Edge: The Execution Playbook for Turning Vision Into Scalable Growth, a new book by GCE Founder and CEO Ken Paskins.

Written for founders, CEOs, Visionaries, Integrators, operators and leadership teams, The Integrator Edge addresses a problem Paskins has seen repeatedly inside growing companies: the vision may be clear, but the business still depends on the founder to turn priorities into decisions, ownership and consistent follow-through. The book examines the operational leadership required to close that gap and build a company that can execute without constant founder intervention.

“Most founders I meet don’t have a shortage of ideas. The breakdown happens between seeing where the business needs to go and building the leadership discipline to actually get it there,” said Ken Paskins, Founder and CEO of GCE Strategic Consulting. “I wrote The Integrator Edge to give founders and business leaders a clearer view of what strong execution looks like in practice - clear ownership, real accountability, better decisions and an operating partner who can turn vision into action. When that structure is right, the founder can stop carrying every priority and the business becomes stronger because of it.”

Drawing on Paskins’ experience as a corporate executive, full-time Integrator, Fractional Integrator, leadership coach and now Visionary of GCE Strategic Consulting, the book explores the role of the Integrator as more than an operations manager. It positions the Integrator as the executive leader responsible for translating vision into disciplined execution, aligning leadership around priorities and creating the systems that allow growth to become repeatable.

The book covers the Visionary/Integrator relationship, execution at scale, accountability, process, financial discipline, leadership under pressure and the evolution of the Integrator and COO roles. It also includes practical resources such as The Great Integrator Test™, The Great Visionary Test™ and The CEO Navigator™ Framework, designed to help leaders evaluate their own roles, identify gaps and strengthen the leadership partnership behind execution.

The Integrator Edge has reached No. 1 in three Amazon categories: Organizational Change, Business Planning and Forecasting, and Business Production & Operations. You can purchase a physical copy of the book here.
