Business Would Be Easy If It Wasn't for People: A Real-World Guide to Leadership, Accountability, and Not Losing Your Sh*t at Work (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999802507)

Let's be honest: people are the hardest part of any job.
Not the budget. Not the software. Not the strategy deck that took four hours and got ignored in five minutes.
It's the people. The ones you lead. The ones who lead you. And yes - sometimes, it's you.

Business Would Be Easy If It Wasn't for People is a candid, funny, and painfully real guide to surviving and thriving in the modern workplace.
Whether you're managing a team, leading a company, or just trying to stay sane through another messaging notification, this book helps you navigate the emotional minefield of work - with self-awareness, empathy, and actual results.

You'll learn:
- Why emotional intelligence matters more than ever (and how to actually build it)
- How to handle conflict, ego, and passive-aggressive coworkers like a grown-up
- What accountability really looks like (spoiler: it's not about blame)
- How to stop sucking - and help others do the same
- And why AI won't save you if you can't work with other humans

This isn't a leadership book filled with fluffy metaphors or corporate buzzwords.
It's for real people working real jobs - managers, team leads, executives, and anyone who's ever wanted to scream into a pillow after a staff meeting.

If you've ever said, "This job would be easy if it wasn't for the people," this book is for you.
