Leaders





"Narcissistic Leaders 
are threatened by talent. 
They want to be the smartest person 
in the room.


Humble Leaders
are drawn to talent. 
They surround themselves 
with people who make them smarter.


Great Leaders
grow talent. 
They strive to make everyone 
in the room smarter."

-- Adam Grant --

Be The Person


 


Be the person who breaks the cycle.

If you were judged, choose understanding.

If you were rejected, choose acceptance.

If you were shamed, choose compassion.

Be the person you needed when you were hurting, 
not the person who hurt you. 

Vow to be better than what broke you --- 
to heal instead of becoming bitter 
so you can act from your heart, not your pain.
