In Ana Visneski's candid snarky guide, F*ck it, Watch this: Saying the Quiet Parts Out Loud, she throws traditional leadership wisdom overboard like a soggy biscuit at a pirate tea party. Forget stuffy boardroom jargon and "rah-rah" motivational speeches-Coast Guard veteran (tech executive and company founder) Visneski dives straight into the tumultuous waters of playing the career game your own way. From looking at the whole ocean to wearing velvet leisure suits in hurricanes, being a Coastie teaches you just as much (if not more) about leadership than any fancy MBA program.
Gone are the days of fluffy, feel-good advice that leaves you nodding off and wondering how to get your time back. F*ck it, Watch This delivers actionable ideas with the finesse of a cannonball into the corporate pool. Whether it's learning how to work for an octopus manager or discovering the power of being underestimated, Visneski's unconventional approach guarantees that you'll never look at leadership the same way again. So, grab your highlighter and prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe even learn a thing or two about leadership from someone who isn't afraid to say the quiet parts out loud.
