Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }},

If you have been on this list for a while, you might have noticed things have shifted here.

I have spent the last few months getting clear on what I actually do and who I do it for. The result is The Leadership Mirror. It's a free quiz that shows you exactly where your leadership authority is drifting, and why. Five minutes. Honest results. No fluff.

Before Friday, I would love you to take The Leadership Mirror. It takes five minutes and it will tell you something honest about where your authority actually stands right now.

Most burnout doesn't look like burnout

Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }}, Most burnout doesn't look like burnout from the outside. And if you're the kind of leader I work with, it probably doesn't feel like it either. You're still turning up. Still getting things done. But somewhere underneath all of that, you are running very fast and no one can see it. This week on Take 5 I'm busting the workload myth and naming what's act...
