Are you looking for some tips on how to be a better leader so you can motivate your followers to get more work done and achieve your team’s vision.

These are 5 SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), that I encourage you to wire into your daily life through consistent practice, because as you know so well, consistency is the mother of mastery.

“When we take the concept of management off its pedestal, we can see it for what it is: a technology for organising people into productive capacities. The thing is, this technology is from the 1850s, and we don’t use too many 19th Century technologies anymore, do we? We’ve upgraded most of them.
