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.

When I present, I cheat. I only talk about things I care about.

Academic experts may not be good at doing what they are experts in themselves, but they are good at explaining the subject matter to others. They write books, teach courses and offer lessons and give steps others can follow.

Outside advice can only tell you how a decision looks. Only you can know how it feels. The best decisions look and feel right.

Profit isn't a purpose, it's a result. To have purpose means the things we do are of real value to others.

Great leaders see money as fuel, not a destination.

Don't show up to prove. Show up to improve.
