‘All our work happens through people– one relationship and one conversation at a time.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening, and we are not listening when we are doing anything else.’

‘To listen deeply, we need to emphasize our focus and attitude toward the other person.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening.’

‘Trust is the cornerstone of all relationships, and the level of trust that people have in each other is the most significant measure of those relationships.’

‘Without trust, you cannot succeed as a leader. With it, there are no limits to what’s possible.’

‘It takes time and work to build trust. It takes only a nanosecond to break it. However, the deeper the trust, the more possible it is to rebuild it.’

‘Courage is the quality of the mind or spirit that enables us to face physical or moral difficulty, danger, pain, and other hardships and walk toward and through them anyway.’

‘Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’-

‘When it’s time to dream big and imagine, keep the extrinsic incentives away. When it’s time to refine and grind out an execution, a little friendly competition, low-level prizes, and creative rewards can work wonders.’

‘Spend time doing things that make you a beginner again.’

‘What can you do to remind yourself and those you lead that you’re aiming to be an explorer, not an expert.’

‘When you encounter rules that limit your creativity, first suggest they be changed, and if that doesn’t work, be open about your intention to break them.’

‘… Minimizing unhelpful rules can release creativity.’

‘People are more likely to act and think in unsafe ways when the environment around them is safe.’

‘Pushing ourselves to spend less time as experts and more time as explorers loosens overly rigid knowledge networks and gives us a personal edge as thinkers and creatives.’
