Increasingly, there are only two kinds of companies: brave and dead.

I hope I'm better looking than Yoda, but - I'm really interested in people who have something to say, a change they want to make and can't figure out why they can't make it spread.

Leadership, on the other hand, is about creating change you believe in.

Soon is not as good as now.

If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. Your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. Your tenth one might not be either. Confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. Shrug. Admit defeat. Hit delete. One more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. Of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.

What people are afraid of isn't failure. It's blame. Criticism.

Your biggest failure is the thing you dreamed of contributing but didn't find the guts to do.
