Profit is the applause you get for creating a motivating environment for your people and taking care of your customers.
Try to appreciate everyone who comes into your life - you never know what you might learn from them.
The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
Leadership is an influence process where you empower people to be part of the solution. As a leader, do you want to serve or be served?
What keeps us from being servant leaders? EGO. False pride and self doubt derail us. Humility and love are antidotes. Lead at a higher level!
There is no greater threat to the critics and cynics than those of us who are willing to fall because we have learned how to rise.
Integrity is choosing courage over comfort. It's choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy. It's choosing to practice your values rather than simply professing them.
This is why true belonging is a function of courage and vulnerability. Being who we are is about making brave choices. All day long.
True belonging doesn't require that we change who we are; it requires that we be who are.
The fullest measure of respect that we can show our country is activism - our courage to take a stand or a knee to fight injustice.
Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.
Empathy is the skill or ability to tap into our own experiences in order to connect with an experience someone is relating to us. Compassion is the willingness to be open to this process.
Don't rush something that you want to last forever. Work hard, hold fast to your vision, and surrender the rest.
Each one of us is a flawed human being. Let’s hold each other accountable without dismissing one another's triumphs in service of humankind.
There will come a time when we realize that love is all that matters. The time it takes to arrive at that realization is up to you.
It’s not possible to hate someone who you truly understand. Empathy and increased understanding is the solution to many of the world’s ills.
Your ability to say ‘no’ to unacceptable behavior will help you to become a happier, more compassionate person.
