…chef irvine's book on empathetic leadership and breaking micromanagement patterns
“One of the things, and I'm just going to go to the book, Overcoming Impossible, because this isn't fluff. It is literally changing my life, starting with chapter one, where essentially you told me to stop micromanaging. And what's crazy is I feel like most leaders today will tell you, oh, I don't micromanage. Right. But the reality is, if you were to ask their staff, if you were to ask their leadership, micromanage is what they do most of the time.”
