The organizations of the future are filled with smart, fast, flexible people on a mission

Leadership is a choice. It's the choice not to do nothing.

Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, "You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.

Basically you create your experience through your beliefs about yourself and the nature of reality. Another way to understand this is to realize that you create your experiences through your expectations.

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).

When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.

In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible.
