Character carries you when capability can’t.

When leaders do not make time to learn and innovate, it is a sure sign they are failing.

The travesty of starting at the bottom turned out be a blessing.

If we cling to human-made rules and policies, we are guaranteed to be wrong at some point.

Perfection murders progress, learning, and most devastatingly, leadership.

Skills don’t matter if character isn’t present.

Authentic leaders do not seek failures, but expect them.

Authentic leaders don’t succumb to Monday morning quarterbacking.

Lack of patience leads to leadership being completely out of touch with their employees and blinded to what is really going on.

Authentic leaders make a lot of mistakes. Not intentionally, of course, but they do. Because they try. And then they learn.
