Leadership From A Cat
summary
Shows a failed 2015 educational game studio that closed in 2016 and a later company that hits $1M revenue first year, arguing those outcomes teach leadership more than theory. Recommends concrete practices: make the company automatable so it isn’t codependent on one person, fire people who harm team health, offer useful perks not token bonuses, and use the 15–20 minute nap boosts productivity rule. Uses cat metaphors to justify picking battles and trusting a clear vision.
