Lead and Let Live

A personal health crisis spurred human resources executive Barbie Brewer to write a series of letters for her children to read when she's gone. Lead and Let Live takes that creative spark a step further, blending love and intention, her extensive experience with game-changing companies such as GitLab and Netflix, and her gift for promoting connection, compassion, and purpose in everyone she meets. The result is a refreshingly raw and uplifting conversation that will help guide anyone interested in improving themselves or their organizations. Above all, this book is an invitation for leaders at all levels to confidently embrace and thrive in the new world of work. Brewer shares life lessons you can apply daily that are as vital in the workplace as they are in your other essential roles--as a partner, parent, friend, or human being. See how her respect for Netflix culture and the pre-pandemic work flexibility she spearheaded co-exists with the values she shares with her family. Take Brewer's outstretched hand to chart a path in work and life that helps build a better world. You'll find resilience and courage you never knew before . . . when you lead and let live.
