Leadership is neither a rank nor a title. It is a choice. The choice to provide care and protection for those for whom we are responsible.

The cost of leadership is self-interest.

Some good leaders are rough around the edges and some leaders are difficult. Some have difficult personalities and some are really nice to be around, but those are not the qualifications. The qualifications are their desire to see us achieve more, their desire to push us to be the best we can be. Not for their selfish gain, but because they believe that we have something to offer.

Trust has two dimensions: competence and integrity. We will forgive mistakes of competence. Mistakes of integrity are harder to overcome.

Most politicians are not authentic.

WHY did we start doing WHAT we’re doing in the first place, and WHAT can we do to bring our cause to life considering all the technologies and market opportunities available today?

I think most people are inherently interested in how their brain works, in what makes them tick.
