Kevin Kruse knows two things about leadership that most people do not believe. First, leadership is a superpower. Second, almost everything we’ve been taught about leadership is wrong. In Great Leaders Have No Rules, New York Times bestselling author and successful entrepreneur Kevin Kruse debunks popular wisdom with ten contrarian principles for better, faster, easier leadership.

Specifics that we covered on the show include:

  • On great leaders having no rules (03:01)
  • Leading your time vs. managing your time (05:05)
  • On the “open door policy” as a productivity killer (07:50)
  • How to open up your calendar (13:45)
  • Instead of putting rules, what should a leader do instead? (18:40)
  • Defining extreme productivity (26:16)
  • On the 15-secrets mentioned on the last book (30:32)
  • On the idea of slowing down and adopting what successful leaders do (34:20)

“We all have the same 1,440 minutes a day. You are not gonna make more time. So, it is really leading your energy, leading your schedule, and leading your minutes.”  ~ Kevin Kruse

Agent Sonya (2020) is the biography of a respectable housewife, who also just happened to be one of Soviet intelligence’s most intrepid and high-ranking spies.
