Feed Your Team
A Leadership Playbook for Building Trust, Belonging, and High-Performing Teams
Cody R. Hand(0)
About
The promotion came with a title - but no instructions.
Most new leaders are handed teams and goals without a roadmap, left to learn through gaffes, guesswork, and the kind of late-night failures nobody warned them about. Feed Your Team is the book Cody Hand wishes he'd had on day one - a practical, story-driven guide for first-time managers, newly promoted executives, and the leaders who promote them.
It started with a homemade lasagna. After a year of leading a fractured team he didn't know how to repair, Cody cooked his team lunch - and watched trust take root in a way no offsite or org chart ever managed. From that single shared meal grew a leadership philosophy built on a simple truth: great leaders feed their teams. Sometimes literally. Always intentionally.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
• Shift from doer of things to leader of people
• Diagnose what your team is actually hungry for - and feed accordingly
• Lead a five-generation team without losing your mind
• Run a 30-minute 1-on-1 that builds trust instead of awkward silence
• Give feedback that lands, receive feedback without shutting down, and let someone go with dignity
Drawn from two decades across healthcare, politics, and the practice of law - and from the failures Cody is refreshingly candid about - Feed Your Team delivers the scripts, frameworks, and hard-won lessons you can use Monday morning.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Pull up a chair.
