There are so many different ways to lead. The most important thing is to be genuine. To have people around you trust you, trust in what you stand for and who you are.

Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.

Authenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who's looking back at you.

Truth is a point of view, but authenticity can't be faked.

Don't worry about what's cool and what's not cool. Authenticity is what's cool.

Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.
