Shownotes

This is the finale of the Busy Is Broken solo series — and the book is out today. No cautionary tales. No data. Just the declaration at the heart of the book: the manifesto, adapted for your ears, and a challenge. Do less. Do it better. Do it together. Pick one thing from this thirteen-part series and do it this week. The shift starts with a single decision, practiced until it becomes a habit. Keep scaling — but take down some sail first.

PhD Research on CEOs

What you get back is a report comparing how you rate yourself to how your team rates you. That gap is usually the interesting part. ScalingCoach.com/study
