Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others. Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, curiosity, and integrity.


Repeat after me: good communication requires repetition. Data: leaders are 9x more likely to be criticized for undercommunicating than overcommunicating. Those who say too little come across as unclear and uncaring. When you're tired of your message, it's just starting to land.

Falling short of a goal doesn't mean failure. Often it's progress. 14 experiments, 10k people: people counted results that didn't meet targets as losses—even if they were gains. The key measure of success isn't reaching your destination. It's improving from your starting point.


If your only purpose in adopting agile ways of working is to increase throughput, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's perfectly okay for throughput to go down if you're delivering more value.



Progress rarely happens in a straight line. It typically unfolds in loops. Day by day, it can feel like you’re spinning your wheels. If you look back on your trajectory over months or years, you can see forward movement. Major growth is the result of many seemingly minor turns.
