The LHL book ยท foreword by David Hieatt
26 storiesfrom a Fridaymorning.
Every Friday at 8.30am, a group of leaders meet to say the things they can't say anywhere else. In 2022, 26 of them wrote it down.
On a Friday is a handbook for leaders, written by the Like Hearted Leaders community, not about them. With a foreword by David Hieatt, co-founder of The Do Lectures and Hiut Denim Co.
Six values. 26 essays.
The book is built around the six values we hold on a Friday. Each one is a chapter, and each chapter is a handful of honest stories from people running businesses, teams and lives.
- Here to make a difference.
- Courage through vulnerability.
- Share the conversations in your head, in a kind, respectful, authentic way.
- Growth and contribution are non-negotiable.
- Seek opportunities to amplify others.
- Hold space for others to have a voice and be heard.
Don't delay. Don't defer. Don't overthink. Jump in. All in.
