Leadership that does not treat people on our team differently than we’re treating people in the community or our family or on a committee that we serve or any of that sort of thing. Continuity of character and behavior shifts across every aspect of our life is what’s needed to become a relatable leader.

That’s what makes a great team. I never relied on a committee for a final decision. Committees are the death of creativity and productivity. Having everyone know that they had to be good at their job and a good person to succeed made all the difference in the world. Don’t fall into the trap of “How do we compare to others?”
