I figured out a way to make it work, and it’s a perfect example of living my definition of work/life harmony.

I wanted to write about this topic because I think this is one of the hardest balances to strike as a leader.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever expressed how much it means to me that you’re here, reading my words, week after week.

I know that addressing feedback in a timely manner is what builds trust, and as a leader, I have made a commitment to our team to address things when I feel them.

“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.
