The Lever

​

Hi, I'm Sean.

​

I'm a ship Captain turned full time business guy, part time writer.

​

The Lever is a weekly newsletter that focuses on my principles-based approach to leadership, culture building, and the foundational skills you need to build high performing teams.

​

It is aimed at new leaders who find themselves struggling to manage a team or business unit for the first time. You can expect simple ideas that make a big impact and 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.

​

I normally send one newsletter and one anchor email ⚓️ each week. You'll also receive the first two chapters of my last book Peaceful Productivity when you sign up. Time management is one of the foundational skills of high-performing leaders, and this book shares how to do that effectively while still maintaining balance in your life.

​

You can find me online on ​X.com​, ​Threads​, my professional profile on ​LinkedIn​, and my regular contributions to ​The Maritime Executive magazine​​

​

I hope to see you there.
