You always hear that 'The customer is always right'.

It's also fundamentally false.

If you value the customer in front of your team, you will no longer have a team to serve that customer.

This outdated mantra not only undermines your team's expertise and judgment but also sets

Harsh leadership truth:

Giving autonomy to your team is not enough.

- You need to establish clear expectations
- You need to provide resources and support
- You need to foster a culture of accountability

STOP micromanaging every detail.

START creating a trustful environment.

Day 20/31: I am grateful for the visual arts.

I don't know how many of you know this, but I spent 8 years in art school.

Yes, you read that right. I studied visual arts from 1st to 8th grade.

It's a funny story, actually.

I didn't have any particular talent; my parents liked

Day 11/31: I am grateful for the education.

Last weekend, I started my MBA journey, and this made me reflect on the education and learning opportunities in my life.

I believe education is the greatest driver of our success.

I also believe in continuous learning. If I hadn't,

Day 10/31: I am grateful for movies.

One of my favourite activities is watching movies. 

It all started when I was about 5 or 6 and my dad took me and my sister to the cinema.

I can remember it as if it were yesterday.

It was Karate Kid 2 and I dreamt about the crane kick at

Day 5/31: I am grateful for the music.

Since I was in high school, music was with me everywhere I went, however I felt.

This morning, while thinking about what I should write about, it struck me how easy it is for a simple melody to transport, uplift, and connect us in the most

Day 3/31: I am grateful for books.

Today, I'm incredibly thankful for one of my greatest loves: reading.

I didn't read that much when I was a kid. I struggled with the mandatory books we had to read in high school, and more often than not, I would look for summaries on the

Day 2/31: I am grateful for my memories.

As I turn 38 today, I feel reflective and grateful for all the incredible memories I’ve made.

The good, the bad, the ugly—all our experiences shape who we become.

I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

Day 1/31: Grateful for my health.

We are so caught up with work, hustle, and everyday living that we don’t have time to sit back, relax, and be grateful for the good things in our lives.

So, this December, instead of focusing on leadership, career growth, or other 'serious'

I took advantage of the fact that my wife spends the weekend in Paris (lucky me!) to take a long walk, eat a sugar-free cake at my favorite place, and work on my email course.

And I'm happy to let you know that it's shaping out quite nicely.

What are you doing this Sunday?

Repeat after me:

'I am not my job.'

The name of your employer doesn't define you.

Your business doesn't define you.

Your role doesn't define you.

• Your values
• Your experience
• How you treat other people

Those are the things that define you.
