The end

Hey,

Thanks for being part of Leadership Lens.
You joined a group of people who think deeply, lead intentionally, and believe that better decisions shape better outcomes.

This wasn’t about theory. It was about learning from those who led under pressure — and pulling out the insights that still matter now.

Grateful you came along for the ride.

The end:

That’s 10 stories. 10 lessons.
From Cold War brinkmanship to boardroom brinksmanship. From leaders in exile to CEOs under fire.

If you’ve been reading along — thank you. Truly.
This newsletter started as a personal experiment — not just to share what I know, but to explore what great leadership really looks like under pressure. Not in theory, but in action.

The kind of leadership that moves people, shifts outcomes, and rewrites what's possible — even when the odds aren’t in your favor.

With this 10th edition, I’m closing the series.
It’s a full arc — and one I’m proud of.

If there’s one thread that ties these 10 pieces together, it’s this:
Leaders don’t always win by being the loudest, strongest, or most confident. They win by seeing clearly, acting deliberately, and playing the long game.

If you found even one insight that made you think differently or lead more intentionally — it was worth it.

Thanks for being part of this.
Lead well. And keep playing the long game.

Kris,
Leadership Lens
