“Just Work Harder” Isn’t The Answer
But too often, that’s what we expect our teams to do.
Lincoln said it best: “If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Too many teams are working twice as hard, yet are half as productive because no one showed them how to sharpen the axe. And in a world of constant change and moving targets, most leaders don’t have a clear path to show their people how to stay sharp.
Nolan refuses to leave your teams and leaders in the fog. He offers a practical, optimistic path forward: stop trying to survive the chaos and start creating moments that matter. When you can do that, you build high-connection, growth-minded teams.
