Yeah, that's toxic arrogance.

Healthy arrogance is a feeling that I can make this room better and bring up the folks in this room.

And true leadership is understanding a commonality of goals and getting other people to see the commonality of your goals.

Because if you and me and five other people are all in a team and I've got a particular goal, if I got a goal, you got a goal, four other people have their own goals, and we are not seeing the commonality, then we're all going to be rowing in different directions.

We will get nowhere.

But true leaders are able to get people to galvanize around a shared goal and mission that everybody benefits from.

That's a part of that healthy arrogance is understanding that your goal, your mission, your desire is just as important as anybody else's.

But you've got to get other people to buy into it.

That's a true sign of leadership and success.

So being around some of these really, really successful people globally, I see that they're not questioning at all their value.

They're focused on trying to get other people to see their value, but in a positive way.

Again, not about saying I'm good, you're bad.

I'm better than you.

No, that's not what it's about.

That is not sustainable.

It is about I am bringing something to the table that we can all benefit from.

That's why I deserve to be in this room, no matter who's in the room.

No matter how important and big and the titles and all of that, I am not intimidated because I understand that I have something that none of these other people have and it's just as important and it's going to add value to the room.

That's where that healthy arrogance comes from.

Yeah.
