“The thing that makes us love our jobs is not the work that we’re doing, it’s the way we feel when we go there. We feel safe; we feel protected; we feel that someone wants
us to achieve more and is giving us the opportunity to prove to them and to
ourselves that we can do that. And by the way, it’s good for innovation, it’s good
for progress, and it’s good for profit.” - Simon Sinek on work

Insight #7
“Taking personal responsibility for getting others to implement strategy is the leader’s key polarity. It’s the existential paradox of holding
yourself 100 percent responsible for the fate of your organization, on the one hand, and assuming absolutely no responsibility for the choices made by other people, on the other hand … You cannot choose for others. All you can do is inform them that you cannot choose for them. In most cases,
that in itself will be a strong motivator for the people whom you want to cultivate. The leader’s role is
less to heal or to help than to enlarge the capacity for responsible freedom.”
- Peter Koestenbaum

better future while letting them know they matter, that you value them as
full human beings.
Insight #10
Remember:Everyone wants to contribute. Trust them.
Leaders are everywhere. Find them. Some people are on a mission. Celebrate them.
Others wish things were different. Listen to them. Everybody matters. Show them.
