Don't try to be the 'next'. Instead, try to be the other, the changer, the new.
Seth Godin

Two elements of successful leadership: a willingness to be wrong and an eagerness to admit it.

Real change comes from finding and embracing and connecting and amplifying those that are inclined to like you and believe in you. Ideas spread from person to person, not so much from you to them. So find your biggest fans and give them a story to tell.

The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.

If you take action, you will be judged. There's no way around it. The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored. Up to you.
Seth Godin
Image
I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.
Seth Godin
Image
Treat different people differently. Anything else is a compromise.
Seth Godin

Just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.
Seth Godin
Image
There's no shortage of great ideas. There's a shortage of execution.
Seth Godin
Image
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.

Here's the fascinating part, call it the golden shoulder: We have no idea in advance who the great contributors are going to be. We know that there's a huge cohort of people struggling outside the boundaries of the curated, selected few, but we don't know who they are.
