Episode Quotes
“If you want to have more, you have to become more, and that means investing in yourself.”
“The value of your skills today is decreasing over time. So, make sure you stay current and stay sharp.”
“You're much more effective when you come alongside someone to encourage them, not come over them with demands.”
“The leader is primarily responsible for directing what needs to be done, but not necessarily how.”
“Sales actually is helping people get what's good for them that they couldn't get without your help. It's honorable and ethical and necessary.”
“If you're on the team, you do whatever it takes to win, but resign your position as general manager of the world. Stop taking responsibility for everything and trying to control everything.”
“You can only change you. So, get to work on the thing you can and should be focused on and back to owning your results.”
“Get to know people, what they care about, what they aspire to. Everyone has a story."
