Lee Ellis quotes:

Leaders devoid of crucible experiences are likely to be overly confident about their ideas, and surprisingly more susceptible to fears; this is also true of children who are overly sheltered from facing challenges and experiences that help build their character. Courageously facing our fears in the difficult times gives us both humility and real confidence."

Leaders can choose to grow and change, but generally the most powerful predictor of future performance is past behavior. Evaluate them realistically.

Good teams are committed to the team mission and to each other personally. Good leaders inspire and build this commitment and trust.

To guard our character with unwavering commitment, our best protection comes from being humbly aware of our vulnerability.
