Worry about caring deeply. Don't worry about being a super decision maker.

I'm very rarely making a decision, and if I am, we have a good chance to make a bad decision.”“If you had to say what is the single most important value to building an elite, best-in-class organization, I would say open-mindedness, is where you have to start.”ResourcesBook: Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World by General Stanley McChrystal Book: Good to Great by Jim Collins About The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.
