On the drive home from school last night, i reminded our son that doing these things meets expectations, but it’s the little things, like thanking a teacher after class for a great insight, that exceed expectations.
There are no courses (except perhaps Disney Institute) focusing on exceeding expectations.

(Dear son, thank you for paying me a compliment, and encouraging me.)

Wow. i have to make it back. Otherwise, it’s an 11-mile walk to the closest road access.
Fear holds leaders back. And it holds leaders back their entire career. Overcoming is the DNA of exceptional leaders. This is rarely talked about and therefore rarely addressed.
And like a summit, it’s a continuous journey.
It literally took 30 years for me to figure this out.
