Hi there, Do you have projects or goals that you keep putting off? Maybe it’s preparing for a marathon, finding a new job, or—like me—writing a book? Let me share a personal story. Twice, I’ve started writing a book and twice, I’ve stalled. But now, I’m on my third attempt, and this time, I’m fully committed to finishing it. So, I’m making a declaration: I’m working on a book for leaders about transforming disengaged, alienated teams into high-performing units. I’m excited to share that every other week, I’ll be updating you on my progress and offering some sneak peeks and tips from my upcoming book. Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:
