  2. “It’s very difficult to find a place of contentment if you’re playing the competition game.”

  4. “Self-leadership always precedes team effectiveness and team effectiveness always precedes organizational impact.”
  5. “Management meetings are a lot of telling. Coaching sessions are a lot of asking.”
  6. “I think that is what really needs to be at the heart of a coaching leader: It’s not that you are just comfortable with your people being better than you are. You actually desire it.”
  7. “A leader’s effectiveness is determined by just two things: The decisions they make and the influence they have.”
