2024 Edition
Notes on leading high-performing teams.
Fifteen years of leading teams, distilled into a book written without filler. For people with others to lead who take the work seriously.
Who it's for
If any of this sounds familiar.
If you've just started leading.
And you haven't quite figured out why your work is no longer measured by what you do yourself.
If you've been at it for years and something doesn't quite click.
Your team works, but not the way you'd like, and you can't put your finger on what to change.
If you founded something and suddenly you're the boss.
Without asking for it, and without a manual that fits your context.

What people said
“Finished it in two sittings. The kind of book that makes you scribble in the margins and flip back to pages you already read.”
“I gave it to my whole team of leads. We use it as a shared reference when we talk about how we work.”
“It's been a while since I read something about leadership that didn't sound like a self-help manual. Real experience, told honestly.”
