They're respected.

And they're respected for being consistent, being clear, being fair, giving, being all the things that matter, kind, and all these different things.

But leadership to me is, it's a way you show up every day.

And it starts with personal leadership.

I don't think you can be a leader in the world if you don't have control of yourself.

If you don't really understand yourself and then it's an imperfect art and you're constantly growing and learning.

And we had a staff meeting yesterday in the morning.

You know, that thing was fantastic.

And in the afternoon, I didn't show up that great.

And I was exhausted from that silly game.

And I was sure I was like, I got in the car like that wasn't my best performance.

And then I laughed and then I'll own it and move on.

Leadership a lot of is how you show what it is to be human.

A lot of leaders feel like they have to pretend to be perfect.

And look, we all have insecurities.

We all have challenges.

And to me, leaders is showing the way of humanity of how to do growth and how to care for others and how to do things that matter.

This is a very strange question to ask an extremely successful business person.

Do you like business?

I love the game of influencing.
