Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it?
If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.
A GLIMPSE INTO THE BOOK
Ted Lasso's leadership philosophy comes to life in Lead It Like Lasso, offering readers a playful yet insightful approach to personal and professional growth. The book divides leadership into four key areas: The Rules, The Players, The Training, and The Game. Through this sports-inspired framework, readers are encouraged to define their core values, create a clear vision, and develop their own "personal operating system" for leadership
A former high school math teacher (Marnie Stockman) and technology veteran (Nick Coniglio) co-founded a software company together then wrote this book based on their experiences building the business.
