Our favorite episode quotes:
Steve, "Master the basics and get a great reputation for being a hard-working, consistent deliverer of whatever your boss needs you to do." (referring to how to prove to your boss that you're worthy of a leadership position).
Steve, "The three things I admire most in leaders: humility, competence and generosity."
Bronson, "Something that has helped me on my journey of humility is to learn the Voices."
Bronson, "Leaders have to be the ones that are a half step ahead of everyone else."
Bronson, "Life evolves; it's fluid. Play the role that you're supposed to play in that season, and play it with all your heart."
Episode Takeaway from Steve: Steve asks the question, "What are three values that you most want people to say about you? How much is that true on the other side of you?"
Episode Takeaway from Jeremie: Look for people of peace; people who have the same DNA as you who can represent your brand well. At GiANT we review our roles annually. It's not about the role, it's about what the organization needs.
