Letters from Kevin

Leadership Lessons for Business Turnaround

If you lead a family business, a manufacturing workshop, or any team under pressure, Letters from Kevin is written for you. These practical leadership letters deliver proven insights to help you build a stronger culture, protect cash, and grow your leadership skills.


Each letter weaves in five vital leadership promises, inspired by Mastering Leadership by Anderson and Adams:

✅ Direction — set a clear business strategy and vision

✅ Protection — create a safe, supportive work environment

✅ Order — build reliable business systems and processes

✅ Justice — treat people fairly with transparency

✅ Meaning — connect daily work to a higher purpose


These promises sit at the heart of modern business turnaround and leadership development. In times of uncertainty, they build trust, resilience, and momentum.


My approach to leadership focuses on three pillars — Cash, Culture, and Leadership:

  • Cash is the oxygen of a healthy business
  • Culture is the heart of team pride and performance
  • Leadership is the lungs — breathing clarity and confidence


This work is also rooted in my GNU philosophy:

🌿 GAIA (systems thinking: everything is connected)

🌿 NACHAS (the joy of seeing others succeed)

🌿 UBUNTU (I am because we are)


The goal is simple: to help you shift from reactive management to proactive leadership so you can protect your business, grow your people, and build a legacy you can be proud of.

If you are ready to start improving your leadership skills, building a resilient family business, and creating a culture of excellence, dive into Letters from Kevin today.
