Who Lit This Fire?: A Leadership Parable For Everyone Putting Out Fires They Did'nt Start

You did not start this fire. But somehow, you are the one standing in it, expected to fix what you did not break.

Framework that cuts through chaos 🌉 BRIDGE: the one you build for yourself and the one others will cross because you built it This book is that bridge, a reminder that your path was never a mistake and the strength you carry was built in every fire you have already walked through, shaping the superpower you may not have realized you had.
