The inspiring, unlikely, laugh-out-loud story of how one woman discovered to lead-and how she ultimately succeeded, not despite her many errors, but due to them.

This is actually the tale of how Kristen Hadeed built Pupil Maid, a cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and empowered, even while they’re mopping flooring and scrubbing toilets. It’s the storyplot of how she went from as an almost comically inept leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how exactly to lead.

about Authorization to Screw Up: How I Discovered to Lead by Carrying out (Almost) Everything Wrong

Hadeed unintentionally launched College student Maid while attending college ten years ago. Since that time, Student Maid provides employed a huge selection of students and it is widely recognized for its industry-leading retention rate and its lifestyle of trust and accountability. But Kristen and her company were no right away sensa­tion. In fact, they were almost nothing at all.

On the way, Kristen first got it wrong almost normally as she first got it right. Giving out hugs rather than feed­back, fixing errors rather than enforcing accountability, and hosting celebrations instead of cultivating signifying­ful relationships were just a few of her many mistakes. But Kristen’s willingness to admit and learn from those mistakes helped her give her people the chance to study from their own screwups too.

Permission to Screw Up dismisses the theory that leaders and orga­nizations should make an effort to become perfect. It encourages folks of all age groups to do it now and learn to lead by acting, rather than waiting around or considering. Through a brutally honest and frequently hilarious account of her very own strug­gles, Kristen stimulates us to embrace our failures and demonstrates that we’ll end up being better leaders whenever we do.
