3. The antidote to stagnation is innovation.

4. The conversations you are most resisting are the conversations you most need to be having.

5. Leadership is no longer about position – but passion. It’s no longer about image but impact. This is Leadership 2.0.

6. The bigger the dream, the more important to the team.

7. The more you worry about being applauded by others and making money, the less you’ll focus on doing the great work that will generate applause. And make you money.

8. The more messes you allow into your life, the more messes will become a normal (and acceptable) part of your life.

14. It generally takes about 10 years to become an overnight sensation.

15. Never leave the site of a strong idea without doing something to execute around it.

17. Saying “I’ll try” really means “I’m not really committed.”

22. Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.

23. Understand the acute difference between the cost of something and the value of something.

27. Stand for something. Or else you’ll fall for anything.

28. Make the work you are doing today better than the work you did yesterday.

29. Small daily – seemingly insignificant – improvements and innovations lead to staggering achievements over time.

30. Your daily schedule reflects your deepest values.

31. People do business with people who make them feel special.

32. All things being equal, the primary competitive advantage of your business will be your ability to grow Leaders Without Titles faster than your industry peers.

35. The best in business spend far more time on learning than in leisure.

36. Every single person in the world could be a genius at something, if they practiced it daily for at least ten years (as confirmed by the research of Anders Ericsson and others).
