The rafted toolkit v2.0
YOU’RE NOT FAILING. YOU’RE ON A RAFT.
A free workbook for people who got promoted into leading leaders and haven’t had a calm week since.
Start with the 4-minute score sheet. It tells you which one of ten frameworks to work on this week, and which nine to ignore.
4-MIN CHECK
Twenty-one lines about the last two weeks, as they actually happened. Three scores: Oars, Crew, Currents. The lowest one is where the water’s coming in fastest, and it’s the only section you need this week.
25+ PAGES
With the frameworks which helped me lead for 15 years:
Staying calm when the roadmap changes. Reclaiming your calendar. Handing over the oars. 1:1s that build trust. Feedback that lands. Saying no to executives. Mapping who can quietly stop you. Knowing when to decide fast and when to wait. Every one with a pen-and-paper exercise.
7 TUESDAYS
One story and one exercise a week, going deeper into each framework. Real situations, including the ones I got wrong.
“You’re not failing, you’re on a raft. Let’s get to work”

Is this another PDF I’ll never open?
That’s exactly why the score sheet is on page 4. Ten frameworks is a to-do list, not a toolkit. Four minutes tells you which one is yours.
I’ve been leading for years. Is this too basic?
The frameworks aren’t new. Applying them when an exec has just moved your deadline and your best person has gone quiet is a different job. This is written for that week, not for a course.
What happens after I download it?
The PDF arrives immediately. Then 7 Tuesdays: one story, one exercise, no pitch. Unsubscribe in one click and keep the toolkit.
