But since then, I don't know if we've put a highlight on good leaders.

And it's not a bad thing.

So I'm not saying this is a bad thing.

But I think because of the Internet and because of social media, popularity and visibility became most important.

And so I just started curating a list and doing some studies for my sons of who some good leaders that they should research are.

But through this, I also started to realize, wait a second, in the next few years, we're going to have a ton of baby boomers that are going to retire from corporate jobs and C-suite, that they're going to get replaced with people that if my kids don't know who good leaders are, they probably don't know who they are either because we don't talk about leadership like that anymore.

And so that became the pretense of writing the book was how to be a good leader when you've never had one, because I don't know if we're at a time where people have had good leaders.

And I'm not saying we've had bad leaders.

I'm just saying we don't talk about leadership enough.

We don't talk about leadership theory and principles of what that should look like.

And since society has changed.

some of our leadership principles need to change too.

And so that's really what the book is about.

It's like, hey, you're probably going to go watch a movie and think that that's leadership.

Or you're probably gonna hear from your leader today who's walking out of the door

who doesn't care about emotional intelligence, who doesn't care about active listening, who doesn't care about being present.

Well, these are the things that are important to the modern employee.

And so that's why I wrote the book.

Not anymore.

I think leadership went away with cursive writing, right?
