So eventually it's the stories, it's the impact, it's the ripple that you create, which is so fundamental. And I think one thing that you're saying it so beautifully in your book is True North, and I think you're also sharing it in Emerging Leaders, which just launched and just came out. And you say a lot around leading from the heart, right?

Which is kind of what we're talking about, that EQ together with the IQ. Talk a little bit about that, Bill.

I mean, you shared so many interesting things and I was taking notes. I mean, first of all, it's not about what we make, it's what we make possible. And I think when you're really understanding the impact of what you're actually creating, it catapults everyone, right? And it just aligns them to the bigger thing because I want, I mean, I hire people some of the best coaches on the planet.

I hire some of the best teams on my planet, but I need them to decide every single day that they want to be here because they can go in a second and earn more somewhere else. But I need them to decide that they want to change lives. So first of all, I think that's a really important distinction that you just said.

And the other thing that you touch, which I think is critical for leadership, and I don't really know, I think, how to teach that, is decision-making. Because in life, when we get started in life, I think a lot of it is if-then-else. If I accomplish this, then I do this. If I do this, then I do that, right? But as a leader, you have to change the way you make decisions, right?

You first make the decision to hire, then you will see ROI. You make a decision to go for a direction, you'll see ROI much later. So you need at some point to get to those leadership capabilities, you have to start making decisions very differently than where our instincts are. How do you look at decision-making, Bill?

And I think you talk a lot about that also in True North. And again, in both of your books, because I think a lot of it is and this is a big part in Leap Academy. Like, how do you find what's next for you? Because the plateau of opportunities now is endless. And I think most people don't even know what's on the menu. What are you trying to convey with those stories?

Because you bring so many stories from so many of the leading companies in the world. It's a fascinating thing to just look at all the different companies and how they operate and all the different CEOs. But what are you trying to convey?

I love that. And you have so many stories of leaders that were able to follow their true north and were not able to. Is there a favorite story that you like telling or that impacted you when you heard it?

That's so beautiful. Yes. We're talking a lot about some of these leaders. And I mean, it's just incredible to watch when it is coming from love and compassion and et cetera.
