Author and Executive Hunter McMahon Announces the Release of His New Book, “The 5-Year-Old CEO”

Explore the Power of Childlike Curiosity in Leadership!

MAGNOLIA, TX, November 21, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Author Hunter McMahon is a seasoned executive in legal technology and professional services, leading expert teams through high-stakes, bet-the-company matters. Inspired by the quote ‘Be curious, not judgmental,’ he delivered the TEDx Talk ‘Caffeinated with Curiosity’ and now debuts The “5-Year-Old CEO”, a book exploring how childlike curiosity can unlock innovation and resilience in today’s world.

A husband and father of four, Hunter is surrounded by curiosity daily—both at work and at home. He knows that leadership often means questioning the status quo. No matter how senior you are, maintaining a learning mindset is key to growth. Curiosity drives high performance in any environment, but especially in business.

Hunter’s new book, “The 5-Year-Old CEO”, invites leaders to rediscover their childlike curiosity, empathy, and imagination that time tends to erode, but have become indispensable in navigating an AI-driven world. Through the lens of Eric, a fictional five-year-old navigating everyday kindergarten moments, this book delivers seven powerful leadership principles grounded in storytelling, research, and real-world examples.

Readers will learn how to ask better questions, listen with purpose, challenge assumptions, lead collaboratively, resolve conflict, embrace change, and mentor others. Whether you’re a senior executive or rising manager, this book will help you lead with more humanity in an increasingly automated world, creating teams that are innovative, resilient, and deeply engaged.

As a resource that has already received glowing reviews from readers across the US, Hunter McMahon emphasizes that leadership is not a title bestowed; it’s an action taken. “The 5-Year-Old CEO” reminds readers that asking authentic questions and responding with compassion will help build a team that thrives together.
