“I wake up each morning with 10 guiding actions:
1. Start the day caring.
2. Always remember I do not know what I do not know.
3. Find constant opportunities to engage, listen and hear.
4. Work hard to hear from and team with the broadest possible set of voices.
5. Engage honestly; be real.
6. Speak plainly, directly and honestly in all interactions.
7. Make decisions decisively, yet with the confidence and humbleness to adjust if wrong.
8. Make productive use of each moment each day.
9. Live each day positively, with high energy and a smile that exudes confidence.
10. Care for myself, my health and my wellbeing (exercise, sleep, diet)
Being a generous leader:
1. Connecting personally and deeply, becoming a generous communicator.
2. Being curious, listening to learn, becoming a generous listener.
3. Welcoming everyone, generously including many.
4. Standing up for others, becoming a generous action ally.
5. Growing others with recognition and feedback, becoming a generous developer.
6. Making small acts that will have big impacts, generous moments.
7. Being vulnerable, crossing your own line, giving up the mask.”

“To succeed, we need thoughtful, conscientious, compassionate leaders, leaders who are generous in heart. There is no traditional curriculum to build these kinds of skills. They are not taught at business schools, but this book demonstrates that they can be developed through practice, self-reflection and deliberate effort.
Collaborating, showing respect, giving recognition, exhibiting humility, providing validation, paying close attention, ensuring accessibility, doing for others - these are the acts of a generous leader.
I think it starts with the fact that I simply like people. I am a pretty normal guy, quite casual, but I'm fortunate to have good empathy, EQ ( emotional intelligence) and cultural awareness.
A powerful yet simple way to build connections is to simply respond.
Being willing to share who you are and show your heart builds trust and loyalty.
As a leader, you could be the nicest person in the world, but if you do not deliver the numbers, you will not have the opportunity to use that heart.
The more potential people see in themselves, the more ambitious and hardworking they become.
New research is very clear: by repressing emotions, we greatly inhibit human functioning. Moreover, when we bring them into the workplace, in their many forms, we inspire our teams to perform at their best.
Feelings and emotions determine our level of engagement in life, what motivates us and what we care about.
"Those who are too perfect" simply do not connect as well, "those who are too perfect" fail to build connections that motivate and inspire.”
