Protect the doers. One month. Your copy.
Connections
A while ago, I self-published a short, opinionated book for first-time managers: Protect the doers.
It is not a framework.
It is not a leadership manifesto.
It is a set of hard-won lessons from doing the job, getting it wrong, and doing it again. Better.
I wrote it for people who suddenly find themselves responsible for other humans, without much preparation, and with a quiet feeling that this role is different.
You can buy the book on Amazon, and I am sharing a free copy here for a limited time.
The link below will be active for one month.
If you read it and find it useful, great.
If you don’t, that’s fine too.
If it helps you protect your team a little better, then it has done its job.
👉 Download the book – available until 8 February 2026
As always, honest feedback is welcome.
The book is still alive.
