About
Hi, I'm Daniel.
I'm a software developer, Director of Technology at thomann.io, and co-founder of a SaaS company. I also think a lot about leadership, and I write about it, teach it, and coach it.
Most leadership problems aren't people problems. They're design problems.
A few things I believe
- Effort is not a leadership strategy. Chaos is usually a missing system.
- Pressure is not leadership. Clarity is.
- Nice isn't the same as good. Avoiding hard conversations isn't kindness. It's avoidance.
- Leadership begins with self-regulation. A leader who can't manage themselves will eventually manage others through pressure.
- You don't motivate people. You design the environment where motivation is possible.
What I do
I write about leadership, the kind that creates calm instead of chaos. There's a free handbook if you want to dig in. I also work one to one with managers who are capable but stuck. And I'm building Battery Pages, a website builder for small businesses, so I'm still in the weeds as a founder rather than only talking about it.
Get in touch
If something here resonated, feel free to reach out. I'm not hard to find, and if you'd rather talk on a trail than a Zoom call, I'm open to that too.
