What if you didn’t care what people think?


What would you create if you didn’t have to care about what people think?

Well, I did just that. And it turns out … people really like it!

Tomorrow, the second issue of “What the Best Leaders Say” and I’m not even pretending to play it cool.

I am thrilled with how it turned out.
Honestly, I think it is better than the first one.

It’s about one of the most fascinating business turnarounds of the past decade and it has eye-opening insights for anyone who wants to improve how their teams work together.

I’ve learnt a lot myself. And I’ve had quite some fun digging through both, hilarious and thoughtful quotes (and there’s going to be a fun surprise bonus).

My goal for writing these essays is to turn them into the email you won’t want to miss. I’m not going to judge this for you. But I will say I’m really happy with how it turned out.

It drops tomorrow and the launch offer is still valid. I’d call it a steal.

Keep lighting the path,
Michael

What the Best Leaders Say – Issue 4: How to Keep Focus Alive Beyond January

What the Best Leaders Say Issue 4 Welcome to the New Year. Many leaders begin it with renewed energy and good intentions.Even if resolutions are not your thing, almost everyone I spoke to recently shared the same wish. Better focus.
