As a leader, ‘your people are a reflection of you. They watch you. They follow you. They measure you. They listen to you. If you want them to be dedicated to you, you have to be dedicated to them.’

‘When you gain respect, when you earn respect, your directions, your delegations, your goals, and your strategies become infinitely more transferable and implementable.’

‘Your people and their achievement are a direct reflection and a direct result of your attitude.’

‘If great attitudes are what you want from your people, then that is where you must start your personal process of great leaderships.’

‘If your mood is sour, and your words are harsh, what could you possibly expect from the people you work with.’

‘Discovering and defining your own leadership philosophy will help build your character, resilience, resolve, and self-confidence to lead, influence, and inspire others.’

‘Leaders encourage growth in others by challenging them to take new responsibility, encouraging them to succeed, and supporting them if they fail.’

‘To be a great leader of people– inspire them to follow you, not your rules.’

‘Your job is to stay in the groove. By staying in the groove, you set the example for your people to stay in the groove.’

‘Staying in the groove means dedicating and re-dedicating yourself to education, excellence, and enthusiasm by example.’

‘As a leader, your people want to perform for you. Your job is to coach them to a winning performance.’

‘The single most important thing men can do to support gender inequality is to reflect on what it means to be a man at work.’

‘This is really the whole point of equality: having employees approach their work in a way that values the contributions, needs, and interests of everyone equally.’

‘Companies that have a culture of equality will be able to outcompete their peers.’

We learn to fit in through an ongoing process of observing and interacting with people at work, something known as socialization.’

‘Comforming to the standard determines how easy it is for you to fit in.’

‘The longer we work in corporate life, the harder it is to challenge our own beliefs of the ‘ideal worker.’

‘The inequality you experience at work doesn’t exist because of you. It exists because of the culture in your workplace. The only way to solve this is to stop denial and learn about the different ways people experience inequality at work.’

‘Not seeing inequality is what keeps it in place.’

‘Equality is an ongoing journey that every leader signs up for when they agree to manage people.’

‘When a leader shows vulnerability, it signals to others it is safe to do the same.’

‘To solve inequality, we need leaders to listen more, think differently, and take action to disrupt the status quo.’
