For more than a decade, I defined myself as a servant leader. As the founder and CEO of a company widely recognized for its compassionate culture and the author of Permission to Screw Up, I made sure my people came first, always.
But after years of pouring everything I had into my business and my leadership, I came face-to-face with a hard truth: Behind closed doors, I felt trapped beneath the weight of carrying it all. I had built a career around putting others first and abandoned myself in the process. The work I once loved was now tangled up in a web of pressure and expectations.
Human Leadership is for anyone who has ever poured everything into others and woken up wondering where they went. My biggest hope is that this book reminds you that the relationship with yourself informs your relationships with others and that the most human way to lead begins with refusing to abandon yourself.
