All the perks, all the benefits and advantages you may get for the rank or position you hold, they aren’t meant for you. They are meant for the role you fill. And when you leave your role, which eventually you will, they will give the ceramic cup to the person who replaces you. Because you only ever deserved a Styrofoam cup.

The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed even though you bear the responsibility for getting things done.

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

Trust doesn't develop from always doing the right thing. Trust comes from taking responsibility when we do the wrong thing.

The best ideas are the honest ones. Ones born out of personal experience. Ones that originated to help a few but ended up helping many.

I don't consider myself an expert in the why. I don't consider myself an expert in leadership. I consider myself a student of leadership and I consider myself a student of the why. I'm constantly learning and I'm constantly looking for opportunities where it it will fail.

If somebody wants to learn their why, either you help them or send them over to their course. All of this stuff helps.
