You are authentic when everything you say and everything you do you ACTUALLY believe.
Our goals should serve as markers, measurements of the progress we make in pursuit of something greater than ourselves.
We should always choose to work with people we love. They are the ones who will watch our back and our future.
Risk deters those who see what they could lose. Those focused on the gain see it as a necessary part of their journey, even if the possibility of loss exists.
If we inspire people, they will give us more than we asked for. If we manipulate them, they will give us exactly what we paid for.
We all have the luxury of looking out for ourselves. Leaders also have the honor of looking out for others.
Our reputations do not come from how we talk about ourselves. Our reputations come from how others talk about us.
Sometimes we give too much too soon. Sometimes we hold back for too long. This is our beautiful dance. Our imperfect dance. This is the dance that makes us human.
If everything goes right, we get a good experience. If everything goes wrong, we get a good story.
Generosity is doing something for someone else expecting nothing in return.
We can rationalize anything and easily quit on ourselves. Leadership is refusing to quit on others.
Optimism is the ability to focus on where we’re going, not where we’re coming from.
Progress is more important than perfection.
Leaders don’t convince people to follow them. Leaders walk forward alone and those who want to go down their path decide to follow.
We should never change our minds about where we are going, but always be curious about different ways to get there.
When we have a clear sense of our destination, we can be flexible in the route we take to reach it.
We must be clear about where we’re going if we want anyone to help us get there.
New ideas need audiences like flowers need bees. No matter how bright and colorful, they will die unless others work to spread them.
Taking a job for the cash is not as important as taking a job for the joy.
Leadership isn’t answering the questions others ask. Leadership is asking others to answer their own questions.
