We crave explanations for most everything, but innovation and progress happen when we allow ourselves to embrace uncertainty.

When you can wake up in the morning and feel successful whether some end goal is realized or not...THAT is true success.

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.

You are authentic when everything you say and everything you do you ACTUALLY believe.

Great leaders and great organizations are good at seeing what most of us can’t see. They are good at giving us things we would never think of asking for.

Trust is maintained when values and beliefs are actively managed. If companies do not actively work to keep clarity, discipline and consistency in balance, then trust starts to break down.

Instead of showing up to let everyone know how great we are, show up to find out how great everyone else is.
