Wisdom can be difficult to capture and is often gained at a high price. Sharing it, however, costs nothing and requires only the generosity to release it.

A pressure test for our many leadership models and success profiles is the COVID-19 pandemic. My guess is that we will see their limitations. My hope is that we will discover—or rediscover—the importance of character, expressed as empathy, resilience, courage, and vulnerability.

“I believe it’s long past time that we, as individuals and as a society, reestablished the standard that leadership can never be about the leader more than the led.” - Patrick Lencioni, The Motive #leadership

Your words matter, don’t waste them. Eliminate throw away words — “like,” “sort of,” and “kind of.”

People don’t resist change. They resist being changed. If you push, people will push back. Change is best presented as an invitation, not an imposition. #leadership #change

@HBRexchange We need to study followership in order to understand leadership. No followers = no leadership.

Leadership occurs in moments: the moments when we bring out the best in ourselves to bring out the best in others. #leadership #LeadershipMatters

What defines you—a test score, rank, position, title, appraisal by others? Adopt a growth mindset. You are not a finished product. Find satisfaction in growing and learning. #mindsetmatters #leadership

Paraphrasing a brilliant leadership lesson taught to us last week by @gmagalha99: Drown your ego. Just recognize it is a strong swimmer! #leadership

It’s incredible what a team can accomplish when no one cares who gets the credit. #leadership #teamwork

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Takers envy the success of others. Givers enjoy the success of others.

Takers claim credit and avoid blame. Givers share credit and take blame.

Takers see kindness as weakness. Givers see kindness as strength.

You can’t be a leader just in your own mind. You can only be a leader in the mind of others. Leaders are defined by those who choose to follow. Roles don’t define or declare leaders, followers do. #OpenLeadership
