Notes from the campfire

Taking care of the humans.

One email roughly each month about leading people well, written by a real human and intended to reduce noise in your life rather than add to it.

What you'll get

Something I noticed in a room that week, or on a run, or at my own kitchen table. One idea about leading humans, worked through in plain language. Now and then a question I'm still sitting with, because those are usually the good ones.

Roughly monthly, sometimes less. I'd rather skip a month than send filler. Three minutes to read, and you can reply; a person answers.

What you won't get: a funnel. No sequences, no countdown timers, no last chance. Your address is never shared, sold, or handed to a tool that does clever things with it.

Written by a human. Read in about three minutes.

Who's writing

Niels Gott. Twenty-two years an Army officer, then Penn for the science of what makes people and teams flourish. Today I work with executive teams at technology companies, in the room. The notes are where I think out loud between rooms.
