Episode notes

The pope is a great example, and you give a great example about how easy it would be for us as a culture to pay mother theresa or martin luther king the kind of massive salary that we pay some of the ceos that ultimately ran our banking system into the ground. And so i guess what, for me, feels heart breaking is that we seem to be so willing to bestow this rank on people whether or not they deserve it. The perks of leadership are not free. They come at great personal sacrifice for the person who is in that leadership.

“To see your team achieve more than they thought they were capable of, that they will advance the organization further than you even imagined—because they believe, and they are grateful, and they’re inspired—it’s all worth it. All the sacrifices. It always is.” —Simon Sinek
