The Leadership Challenge Quotes

“One reason that people are often afraid to ask around for advice and input from others is because they believe that doing so means, or at least implies, that they're incompetent or don't know something that they should. These fears are misplaced. Studies show that people perceive those who seek advice as more competent than those who do not seek advice and this belief is even stronger when the task is difficult than when it is easy.”

“Unless people can find meaning and purpose in their work, they are not likely to stick around very long or put in the effort required to make a difference. These feelings are particularly important for leaders to tap into during times of high uncertainty.”
