If it's worth listening to, it's worth questioning until you understand it.

The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about.

A brand that stands for what all brands stand for stands for nothing much.

It's rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person. They can't occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It's difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work.

Action or inaction are both forms of leadership and standard setting.

The goal has never been to always succeed. The goal is to be allowed to keep initiating.

What if getting bigger isn't the point? What if you merely got better?
