The trick to balance is to not make sacrificing important things become the norm.

Leadership is like exercise. Do it everyday, the results take time but you will see them. It's the little things.

More often than not when we do not like our work, it's not necessarily because of the work itself. But more often because of the people we work with and more importantly because of the lack of leadership. It is amazing how inspired and motivated we can be when we like the people and when we feel like we show up to work because our leaders care about our wellbeing. It is kind of incredible actually.

A parent does not do everything for their kid. A parent that does everything for their kid produces a kid with no self-confidence. 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. The reason we grow up to be healthy adults is because our parents played this game of giving us responsibility, disciplining us when necessary, letting us try, letting us fail.

Leadership is absolutely about inspiring action, but it is also about guarding against mis-action.

I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.

The responsibility of the company is to help the people, grow as people. If we can do that, then the company will grow as a company.
