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.

A leader's job is not just to get the best out of their people-a leader's job is to make more leaders.

Leadership is not about being a nice person or not a nice person.

When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you. But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you.
