The Antidote: Building Insanely Profitable

The current default setting for teams and their leaders is a set of poisonous principles that are both outdated and irrelevant in a modern marketplace. The status quo is literally killing people. People with poor leadership on crappy teams commit suicide at staggering rates. Everyone deserves exceptional leadership, but the archaic leadership and team development principles used during the Industrial Revolution will not produce a life-giving environment…not fast enough to save lives.

If you are like 99% of the population, you have probably experienced working somewhere miserable at some point in your life. Maybe you’re working there now. It is time for a hero to rise and fight back against a broken system that is systematically destroying people’s lives. That hero is you!

I’ve been there. I’ve fought the darkness of depression and anxiety. I’ve wrestled with thoughts of suicide. I’ve stared at the ceiling of my bedroom at night for hours because the thought of having to go to work in the morning was a weight on my chest, keeping me from falling asleep.

But I figured out how to win! Not only that, but I discovered how to teach other people to win as well. That’s what this book is for.

I can close my eyes and see the faces of people who are still alive today because of the principles and values that I advocated as a leader. I made a difference in their life and the lives of their friends and family because I didn’t default to the status quo.

In the following chapters, you will learn my proven framework for developing a High- Performing Team that lasts. Not just for profit and productivity, but to ultimately save the lives of everyone on the team.
