Trust emerges when we have a sense that another person or organization is driven by things other than their own self-gain.

Authenticity is about imperfection. And authenticity is a very human quality. To be authentic is to be at peace with your imperfections. The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great leaders are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don't know. The great leaders can't do everything; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.

Don't give to get. Give to inspire others to give.

If our parents fixed everything for us and did not allow us to do anything on our own, or intervened every single time, we would all grow up to be completely dependent.

A good leader shares information, even if they don't know the whole story. Without any information, people create their own, which causes fear and paranoia.

Make it about them, not about you.

Purpose does not need to involve calculations or numbers. Purpose is about the quality of life. Purpose is human, not economic.
