A sign of maturity is caring more about being respected than being liked.
Liking is shallow affection. It comes from being pleasant—you bend over backwards to accommodate others.
Respect is deep regard. It's earned by being principled—you consistently stand up for your values.
Insecure leaders strive to be the most powerful person in the room. They make others feel weak so they alone can stay strong.
Secure leaders aim to amplify the power of the room. They use their strength to make others stronger.
The best and highest use of power is to share it.
Nearly everything in life is unfavorable once it grows to a certain size.
It is entirely possible to have too many clients, too much work, too much fame, too much free time, and so on.
Pay attention to when the thing you're chasing exceeds its usefulness.
It's better to be the wisest person in the room than the smartest.
People prove their intelligence by showing what they know. They reveal their wisdom by integrating what everyone knows.
Intelligence can be used to advance personal agendas. Wisdom guides groups to shared goals.
A good leader often does invite dissenting views, and perhaps needs to do a bit@more to amplify the quiet voices. Easier said than done - but doing it now :)
The true leader in a group is rarely the person who talks the most. It's usually the person who listens best.
Listening is more than hearing what’s said. It’s noticing and surfacing what isn’t said.
Inviting dissenting views and amplifying quiet voices are acts of leadership.
The time people spend building personal brands would be better invested in personal connections.
Products have brands. People have relationships and reputations.
Authenticity is not about marketing yourself to create an image. It’s about aligning your actions with your values.
Entrepreneurship happens in three stages:
1) Hustle: You do all the hard work yourself.
2) Management: Hire people to do the things you used to do.
3) Operationalizing: Build systems and codify your decision-making principles so the company can run without your involvement.
Make it your practice to withdraw attention from past and future whenever they are not needed. Step out of the time dimension as much as possible in everyday life.
