Leadership — lines worth keeping

There are no bad teams, only bad leaders.

Good is the enemy of great.

Trust is knowing that when a team member does push you, they're doing it because they care about the team.

Great vision without great people is irrelevant.

The hard thing isn't setting a big, hairy, audacious goal. The hard thing is laying people off.

Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.

Change before you have to.

Control leads to compliance; autonomy leads to engagement.

The most meaningful way to succeed is to help others succeed.

Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.

I am loath to close.

Failure isn't a necessary evil. In fact, it isn't evil at all. It is a necessary consequence of doing something new.

Preserve the core and stimulate progress.

Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.

Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance.
