Being in charge of your work life doesn't mean you always move with assurance and sublime self-confidence; it means you keep moving, continuing on your own path, even when you feel shaky and uncertain.

Consensus is a poor substitute for leadership.

Speaking passionately from the very center of who you are is compelling, forceful, persuasive: that’s what leadership sounds like.

Speaking with passion born of your own authentic experience and belief is always persuasive.

Perfection, in the form of a flawless stream of words delivered with cool composure, is never as persuasive as realness. An impassioned but imperfect speech, which shows you care too much to hide flaws, is far more compelling.
