The Lever
High leverage skills and mindset to help you become an effective leader
Hi, I'm Sean.
I want to help you become a better leader.
And the fastest way to get there is by following a principles-based approach.
Being an effective leader isn't easy. It requires discipline, self-reflection, and that you put in the work. But the rewards are tremendous.
The Lever focuses on this principles-based approach to leadership, plus ideas on culture building, human and organizational performance, 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, and existing leaders looking to level up your teams and yourselves. 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 latest 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.
