PRAISE
“If you are looking to motivate a team or your entire company, there is no greater option available today than Kristen Hadeed.
Kristen has become one of Cardinal's top external thought leaders. She brings the rare combination of amazing storytelling skills coupled with a powerful vision of the future of leadership.”
– PETER LYNCH
Chief People Officer, Cardinal Group Companies
“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.
