This is the story of how Kristen Hadeed built Student Maid, a
cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and
empowered, even while they’re mopping floors and scrubbing toilets.
It’s the story of how she went from being an almost comically inept
leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how to lead.

Hadeed unintentionally launched Student Maid while attending
college ten years ago. Since then, Student Maid has employed
hundreds of students and is widely recognized for its
industry-leading retention rate and its culture of trust and
accountability. But Kristen and her company were no overnight
sensation. In fact, they were almost nothing at all.

Along the way, Kristen got it wrong almost as often as she got it
right. Giving out hugs instead of feedback, fixing errors instead
of enforcing accountability, and hosting parties instead of
cultivating meaningful relationships were just a few of her many
mistakes. But Kristen’s willingness to admit and learn from those
mistakes helped her give her people the chance to learn from their
own screwups too.

Permission to Screw Up dismisses the idea that leaders
and organizations should try to be perfect. It encourages people
of all ages to go for it and learn to lead by acting, rather than
waiting or thinking. Through a brutally honest and often hilarious
account of her own struggles, Kristen encourages us to embrace our
failures and proves that we’ll be better leaders when we do.
