Great team leads have a stack of empowering mental models like: My job is to make everyone here happier and more productive, trust is earned by my behavior, and emotional resilience is required to be a good lead.

The responsibilities of leadership can be daunting. Building emotional resilience with broadly tested skills is key. Fear stops most leads from helping their teams.

Great leads network and find problems to solve. They also learn to be curious investigators. Once they have data, they can also make compelling pitches that earn executive approvals.

Smart execs know that team leads have incredible power inside organizations - but rarely do the leads know this or how to use it effectively. Using that power effectively garners trust from the team and execs.

40PB is grounded in repeatable behaviors. Making them habits provides consistent and reliable outcomes - and productivity improvements.
