Notable quotes
4:04 Dr.JS: The fear of failure is intricately connected to a fear of rejection. They feel fear of failure because [they are] thinking, “if I mess up, I'll be rejected.” And so therefore they never do their best. If you have a group that has high levels of security and psychological safety, people are more willing to take appropriate risks because they're not going to fear being rejected.
19:21 DR.JS: Too often people are valued for what they do; what grade did you earn? How many points did you score in the game? How much was that last deal worth? Successful leaders recognize the difference between someone's best work and their best performance. You can play a great game and still lose, but that doesn't mean you didn't give your best effort.
22:59 KO: Some of the best leaders [not only] do an excellent job of relaying the mission and vision of the company, but also relay how it ties to what the people that work for them are doing on a day to day basis.
