Quote:
[04:31] “Do routine things routinely. If you do the routine things that you're supposed to do in life and in your profession, when the chaos starts happening, you can react to chaos and control that chaos because everything's about controlling chaos.”
[09:35] Orientation fear for me is having confidence in my team, in myself as a leader or as a team member, and understanding that I've been given the best opportunity to succeed.
[22:08] “My definition of leadership is to simply know your people. If I know my people, I can recognize when something is not right. Just have open communication and trust.”
