Leadership is a choice to protect the person to the left of us, and protect the person to the right of us, and sometimes that may come at a cost. It may cost us our benefits, it may cost us our comfort, it may sometimes cost us our perks, whatever it is, credit.

We have no choice, we must all die. How we live, however, is entirely of our choosing.

People who believe I'm an idiot don't hire me and they don't call.

Following takes why. Transactions take what. It has to be real. It has to be the same for writing a book.

Stories are attempts to share our values and beliefs. Storytelling is worthwhile when it tells what we stand for.

We call them leaders because they go first, because they take the risk before anybody else does, because they will choose to sacrifice so their people will be safe and protected.

If you help one person in the room, you're an abject failure. You have to change something.
