Tweetables: Quotable Moments

“‘Jumpseat Leadership’ is all about lifting others up and giving them the space they need so they can take the lead when the time is right. Jumpseat Leadership, for me, is the highest form of leadership because it’s not about retaining or increasing our own power; it’s about empowering others.”

“Commitments have got nothing to do with contracts, or bits of paper, or signatures. A commitment is internal; it’s a promise that we make to ourselves.”

“When we have that humble confidence, it opens up all sorts of possibilities within our team, because it gives us the opportunity where we can tap into the expertise of those around us and get their input so that we can figure out the answers to the challenges that we face.”

“A sense of belonging is something that we all know that we have when it’s there as much as we all know when it’s missing. And belonging is a fundamental need for a majority of human beings.”

“It’s those, often fleeting, one-to-one moments that can nurture that sense of belonging. And when we nurture that sense of belonging, we reap the rewards through the commitment people show by taking responsibility and contributing more.”

“I’d say this, particularly in regards to leadership, leading yourself and leading others: give yourself a break. What I mean by that is none of us is perfect. In life, and in leadership, it’s not about the individual data points; it’s about our intention and the trend. If the way we lead ourselves, our lives and others comes from an intention of love rather than fear, that’s where you want to be.”
