Authentic thought leaders gain perspective from people who think differently, and actively seek out dissenting voices. 

If we cling to human-made rules and policies, we are guaranteed to be wrong at some point.

Skills don’t matter if character isn’t present.

Confidence increases in proportion to lack of fear.

Authentic leaders do not seek failures, but expect them.

The crux of authentic leadership is to work on oneself, all the while extending the same flexibility and forgiveness to others.

Authentic leaders work to become self-aware of their faults and then fill positions on their team with those who can compensate.

Authentic leaders make a lot of mistakes. Not intentionally, of course, but they do. Because they try. And then they learn.

You won’t attain beyond what you reach for.

Authentic leaders take on the attitude of a learner instead of considering it their duty to order, dictate, and command.
