- "even after achieving success, you must preserve it."
- "Organizational success equals personal success"
- "But when you're a leader with followers, you can't think only of yourself and your interests. Your attitude will have to change."
- "Becoming a leader is like transitioning from a soloist to a conductor. Soloists act alone, think alone, and play their instruments as they choose. They can be successful all by themselves, but a conductor has to behave differently. They must focus on the entire orchestra and how to coordinate with the other team members to produce unique musical sounds together."
- "When making this sort of transition, there are realities you will have to face. For instance:
- You need to slow down your pace to carry others along.
- Recognize that you need others.
- You need to make efforts to understand others."
- "Change your focus from smashing your goals to growing your potential."
- "The most important personal decision you can make is to grow."
- "Having a clear vision, setting achievable goals, and communicating them effectively to the team is crucial."
- "They must have the necessary resources and support to execute their expansion plans successfully."
- "When you focus on becoming a better person, your team improves, and your output as a group becomes more effective."
- "If the leader doesn't grow, the organization is stunted. The reverse is also true."
- "Some significant shifts in moving from goals to growth include:
- Seek inward motivation.
- Be specific with your growth.
- Resist the urge to have a growth timeline."
- "Changing your focus from perks to the cost of leadership".
- "Every leader has two options almost daily. With every leadership decision, they have to either focus on the perks of leadership or on adding value to the people they lead."
