- I went to work at IBM, and then did a program called the team management leadership program.
- I did a self assessment like the very the first three months of the two years and I saw that I was a crappy boss.
- The number one thing that happens in a company that creates failure is ineffective communication.
- What makes the difference for people is when there’s effective communication.

- Most leaders are not lifting people up into leadership, and the result is that they never have a business that grows with and without them.
- Both employers and employees need to be empowered to know what their strengths and weaknesses are.
- The most important thing a business leader can know is what they cannot count their employees for.
