ROUGHLY RIGHT

Perfect execution is for a world that doesn't exist. Clean frameworks. Be a visionary and a servant leader plus a data scientist all before lunch. This is not that book.

The physics of leadership are simple. The sugar always dissolves. The problems stay. That manic optimism fades away. The metrics tank and yes, the software breaks. The sugar rush is gone and all you have left is fumes. That's the misery no one warns you about.

And in the middle of all that, you still have to lead people. Complicated ones. The cast of characters that fill your day. The star who burns so bright you couldn't do it without them. The villain or victor you can't ignore. The steady one you keep overlooking. The ghost of what used to be.

Roughly Right is a survival guide for the Wednesday morning reality. For the manager stuck between a boss demanding magic and a frontline that just wants to know what to do next.

Hope is expensive. Honesty is rare. And good stories are still priceless.
