Quotables

“Leadership can be defined a lot of different ways, and one way I like to define it is that it is an act of influence.” — @DinoSignore“We use our prefrontal cortex to make sense of the world. But the challenge is that if somebody has their limbic system activated, and in some cases hyperactivated, it is biologically impossible to be able to think.” — @DinoSignore“What are the things that you're doing leadership-wise, management-wise, that could be pushing people away from you versus pulling them toward what you want them to do?” — @DinoSignore“One of our accolades is that we went 63 months with zero turnover at our agency, and a lot of that had to do with listening and being collaborative, and giving autonomy.” — @jasonmudd9
