“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

― Isaac Asimov

“When you can truly understand how others experience your behavior, without defending or judging, you then have the ability to produce a breakthrough in your leadership and team. Everything starts with your self-awareness. You cannot take charge without taking accountability, and you cannot take accountability without understanding how you avoid it.”
― Loretta Malandro, Fearless Leadership: How to Overcome Behavioral Blindspots and Transform Your Organization
