When you walk around braced for impact, you're dramatically decreasing your chances. Your chances to avoid the outcome you fear, your chances to make a difference, and your chances to breathe and connect.

Art is when we do work that matters in a creative way, in a way that touches (people) and changes them for the better.

Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.

Surprise and differentiation have far more impact than noise does.

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

Leaders lead when they take positions, when they connect with their tribes, and when they help the tribe connect to itself.

Many people are starting to realize that they work a lot and that working on stuff they believe in (and making things happen) is much more satisfying then just getting a paycheck and waiting to get fired (or die).
