*Signed Bookplate* For more than a decade, Kristen Hadeed defined herself as a servant leader. As the founder and CEO of a company widely recognized for its compassionate culture and the author of Permission to Screw Up, she made sure her people came first, always.

From the outside, she appeared to have it all together. But inside, she was falling apart.
