• My leadership journey is expecting that this works best when there is a driving force and a person behind it who has a vision and who is organizing it to keep the group, as a whole, focused.

• Jump out of the airplane and build the parachute on the way down.

• Don’t get sucked into the idea that multitasking is the way to get things done.
