Leadership in Practice 路 from Brooke Baxter
The stuff nobody tells you about managing people
A short weekly email about the real moments of leading a team. The conversation you keep putting off, the person who's struggling, the day you wonder if you're cut out for this.

Send it to meYou grabbed the tool. Here's what comes next.
A tool helps in the moment. What actually shifts how you lead is coming back to it, week after week, with someone who knows what the job is really like. Here's a taste of recent issues.
01
The conversation most leaders keep avoiding
When trust has taken a hit, someone has to go first. Why it should be you, and what to actually say.
02
When one person carries the whole team
If that person is you, there's a reason it keeps landing on your desk. And a way to start putting it down.
03
The art of managing up
How to work with the person above you without going quiet or burning the relationship.
Real situations. Plain language. Something you can try with your team that same week.
What lands in your inbox
- One idea you can use straight away. Not a reading list, not a framework to memorise.
- Moments you'll recognise. Drawn from 20+ years in social work and community services, and conversations with more than 40 managers about what they're really carrying.
- The human side of the job. Trust, feedback, pressure from above, the people who drain you and the ones you're worried about.
- Early access and subscriber discounts. You'll hear about new leadership tools before anyone else, with discount codes that only go out in this email.
Managing people can be lonely. This is one small way to feel less alone in it.
