Resentment is an unmet need

That one realization is what led to all the changes I described in my last two posts.

Challenging the "it's always been done this way" mentality

I love being a part of the process, and also, I knew I needed to free up some mental capacity to work on my book. So, I decided to challenge myself.

Why I said goodbye to a part of my job that I loved

I went for a walk and let my mind wander, and I stumbled upon a hard truth about myself.

The smallest feedback can be the hardest to give

It would have been so easy to just keep moving forward in the day and not address it. And in the past, I think that's what I would have done.

This challenge is magnified by flexible or remote work, and it also comes up when we take time off.

“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.
