The Lever
High Leverage Skills for New Business Leaders
The Lever is a weekly newsletter for new leaders who find themselves struggling to manage a team or business unit for the first time. It shares simple ideas that make a big impact and provides a framework to help get you up to speed fast.
Because that's what leverage is: big results from small actions.
Everything here draws on my personal experience - first as a ships Captain, now as a senior executive in the global energy industry - plus research and interviews with top performers.
This year two different people told me I was "the best boss they ever had". I consider that both an amazing compliment and a massive responsibility. Leadership isn't glamorous and its rarely easy, but if you take it seriously and do it well it is incredibly rewarding.
You'll get the first two chapters of my latest book Peaceful Productivity free when you sign up. Time management is a core skill of effective leaders, and this book captures my ideas on how to do that effectively while still protecting a high level of balance in your life.
