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

Fear for a linchpin is a clue that you're getting close to doing something important.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

I have something to say. I know how to do something. I’m doing it. If you want me to do it with you, raise your hand.

Great leaders don't try to please everyone. Great leaders don't water down their message in order to make the tribe a bit bigger. Instead, they realize that a motivated, connected tribe in the midst of a movement is far more powerful than a larger group could ever be.

It's not reckless, because when we leap, when we dive in, when we begin, only begin, we bring our true nature to the project, we make it personal and urgent. And it's not abandon, not in the sense that we've abandoned our senses or our responsibility. In fact, abandoning the fear of fear that is holding us back is the single best way not to abandon the work, the pure execution of the work. Later, there's time to backpedal and water down. But right now, reckless please.

Ideas in secret die. They need light and air or they starve to death.
