It Was Just a Tuesday

What New Leaders Need to Hear But Nobody Says

This is a book about the ordinary moments that changed how I understood leadership. If you’ve ever learned leadership while already doing the job, you’ll probably recognize yourself somewhere in it.

What you’ll discover

• What changes when you become the leader—even when nobody says it out loud

• How ordinary moments shape the experience people have because of your leadership

• Why trust, attention, and development matter more than having all the answers

• What people may carry with them long after the moment is over
