Be Chris LeDoux, Not Garth Brooks

If you can’t handle others’ disapproval, then leadership isn’t for you.

Build Icebergs, Not Skyscrapers

Adversity Isn’t to Be Avoided

Selfish Apologies Aren’t Apologies at All

Show Us, Don’t Tell Us

Be a Strong Leader, Even If You Follow a Weak Leader

You Either Trust Someone or You Don’t

Abdication Isn’t Empowerment

If Everything’s a Rush, Nothing Is

Macromanage, Not Micromanage

Ridiculously - fortunately - my first job was with Dustin Hoffman. I had a little part in this movie called Tootsie. And he taught me how to watch dailies. That it was very important.

I don't break; I bounce.
