Notable Quotes:

  • There are those moments where it doesn't matter how much experience you have; there are going to be situations that you are still going to have to learn how to navigate.
  • When you are navigating your career, you need to know what's your current skill set and where you currently are.

  • The best way to minimize the time that it takes for you to build trust is to communicate more with your boss.
  • You, as the leader, you have to over-communicate with your team so that they understand exactly where they are, the role that they play, and where they will be after this journey.
  • The worst thing that you can do is to be unclear about what it is that you are asking from your team.
  • As a leader, during your journey, it's important for you to understand a little bit more about who you are so that you can figure out the proper direction that you want to take in your career.
