It fails our modern hybrid workplaces and it doesn’t improve performance, especially for today’s millennial and Gen-Z workforce. It succeeds only in lowering employee engagement, undermining trust in management, decreasing transparency, and increasing turnover. There must be a way to make work better for all of us. There is.

Attaboy Bill, Excellent Read / Listen
As a disciple of Admiral McRaven's, Make Your Bed and Sea Stories, and Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's, Extreme Ownership and The Dichotomy of Leadership. Bill's Peak Business Performance Under Pressure, is a must read/listen.
and should be added to your reading list if you appreciate common sense management.
An inspiring, well-written book.
Bill you're bed is square
If any comment, I'd have put the reasons for the book at the start and perhaps a little more info about battle and flight planning in a business context. Just a thought..
I hope you expand on this young Bill.
