LANDMAN LEADERSHIP
The Tommy Norris Method
"Leadership Ain't About Being Liked. It's About Getting Everyone Home Alive."
Listen Up.
You think leadership is about motivational posters and team-building retreats? Wrong. Leadership is about managing chaos when everything's on fire and idiots are everywhere.
For 8 weeks, you're gonna learn how to lead like Tommy Norris - the kind of leadership that keeps the lights on, the oil flowing, and your people breathing. No corporate BS. No participation trophies. Just hard truths from the patch.
This course isn't for everyone. If you need your feelings validated, close this tab right now.
