Quotes From This Episode

• "Leadership's not in these big things, it's in the consistent things."
• "If you take away the before and the after, and you focus only on the non-negotiables today, that is your day one for leadership...What I try to help people do is figure out what those non-negotiable leadership behaviors are every day, and then teach them a step-by-step process to how to actually live them."
• "Questions are an incredibly powerful driver of human behavior."
• "Courage is a commitment to taking action when there's the possibility of loss."
• "What we were really trying to do is find some avenue to prioritize our 'to-be' list at the same level as our 'to-do' list." 
•  "Failure is reps for your resilience muscle."
