I think the best value to leaders is understanding the generations for the purpose of integrating a younger workforce and transferring knowledge from an experienced workforce. I also think smaller companies may not have the resources for management training or recruiting and therefore there is not a lot of margin for error.

Leadership transitions require us to move out of our comfort zone.

People who lack self-regulation are often invasive of others. They can be perceived as being controlling, antagonistic, or even subversive.

The people who care about us the most are the ones who are most likely to hold us back.

Authenticity is not an innate quality - that is, you are not born with it. Being an authentic leader is not something you can say about yourself; it must be attributed to you.

Sometimes we don't move forward because the people who love us the most unconsciously sabotage our efforts.

Dignity is different from respect in that it is not based on how people perform, what they can do for us, or their likability. Dignity is a feeling of inherent value and worth.
