Stop trying to impress people; instead, be impressed with those around you. Amplify the best in them. Last week I had a wonderful time connecting with amazing people in Toronto. I’m always impressed with the talent and commitment of great people. I’m going to take that attitude…

Feeling embarrassed by your past work is not a sign of incompetence. It’s a mark of growth. Regretting your prior decisions doesn't reflect poor judgment. It reveals new insight. Cringing at your old opinions doesn't display ignorance. It demonstrates an open mind.

You’re not in competition with everyone. Great leaders & entrepreneurs also collaborate; poor ones only compete. Be better by making others better. #leadership #life

Dear managers: If you’re not going to consider feedback, it’s better not to seek it at all. Data: When people in power request input but then disregard it, they’re judged more negatively than if they hadn’t asked. Bad leaders ignore. Good leaders listen. Great leaders act.

One more time: A company is not a family. Healthy workplaces value results as well as relationships.

We pay too much attention to strong opinions—and too little to deep insight and broad perspectives. Pontificating is not a sign of credibility. Hot takes are not a substitute for being well-informed. Expertise is how much you know. Wisdom is knowing how much you have to learn.

The most underrated career skill is the ability to receive tough love. Acquiring knowledge is easy. Obtaining constructive criticism is hard. If you can't handle the truth, people stop telling you the truth. The people who grow the most are the ones who take feedback the best.

Most people save hard tasks for later, but it's better to tackle them first. Evidence: Doing difficult tasks early boosts productivity, creativity, helpfulness, and relaxation—especially for early birds. Starting the day by conquering a challenge elevates energy and efficacy.

Dear leaders: It’s time to stop penalizing people for unplugging on nights & weekends. 16 studies: Managers know detaching boosts performance & well-being, but still judge it as a lack of dedication in hiring & promotions. Healthy boundaries should be rewarded, not punished.

Nothing speaks like results. If you want to build the kind of credibility that connects with people, then deliver results before you deliver a message. Get out and do what you advise others to do. Communicate from experience.

Narcissistic leaders are more appealing to young people with low self-esteem. When we’re insecure, we often gravitate to big egos to fill the void. Supporting them makes us feel special—and makes them feel less threatened. It's time to stop mistaking confidence for competence.
