Asking for other opinions can be helpful when we’re making a big decision. But at the end of the day, what’s even more helpful is giving ourselves the permission to express ourselves in the way that we want to.

Whether the expectations come from ourselves or from the world around us, it’s easy to get caught in the trap of thinking that success means always working on or launching something new.

It’s not entitlement, it’s a call for change: What the rising generation is really asking for

“A brave and generous book, the ideal antidote to the perfection and invulnerability we pretend are essential to succeed.”

SETH GODIN
author of Linchpin and Tribes

This is the story of how Kristen Hadeed built Student Maid, a cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and empowered, even while they’re mopping floors and scrubbing toilets. It’s the story of how she went from being an almost comically inept leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how to lead.

Permission To Screw Up dismisses the idea that leaders and orga­nizations should try to be perfect. It encourages people of all ages to go for it and learn to lead by acting, rather than waiting or thinking. Through a brutally honest and often hilarious account of her own strug­gles, Kristen encourages us to embrace our failures and proves that we’ll be better leaders when we do.
