We Galvins define leadership as 'taking people elsewhere.'

The Galvins like to think about certain things that most people think are impossible, and then we like to engage a process to try to make them possible.

Once people have tried to do something they think is uniquely innovative and it doesn't work, they're actually now more valuable because they know what not to try the next time, or what to try differently.
