Thank You For Leading:
A Gift for Managers
This isn’t cookie-cutter leadership fluff. It’s raw, personal, and rooted in decades of scars. In two chapters, it stands alone as a tribute to managers-rookie or vet-saying, “You’re seen.” But it’s also a taste of more: the full Thank You for Leading unpacks leadership’s systems, psychology, and rules, with a secret chapter you’ll hunt for. Perfect as a gift, giveaway, or desk-side boost, this is your “thank you” for leading.
The Good Manager:
Being Great is Over-Rated!
“I have been fired, let go, demoted, punished, ridiculed, reprimanded, reassigned, embarrassed, provoked, called foolish, ineffective, and worst of all disgruntled. the whole time, I thought the problem was them… It wasn’t. It was me.”
“Me, wanting to feel good rather than being effective. Me, hiding behind my principles. Me, not wanting to take a stand. Me, being embarrassed. Me, being scared. Me, and my misunderstanding of what it takes to be a Good Manager.”
