Quotes from this episode:
"Leadership as a rule is not about you. It's about others. But it starts with you. If you can't lead yourself, then you are gonna have a difficult time leading others."
"Trust is the quintessential skill or characteristic for leaders. If people don't trust you, they're not gonna follow you."
"Your vision is where you think you're going. In today's market, your mission is how you're going to get things done or what you're going to specifically accomplish. But your values are who you are. Your vision and your mission's gonna change when the market changes, but your values shouldn't."
