…discussing how marshall goldsmith's book inspired writing leading with gratitude
“And we said, look, one of the things that we think you should add in is gratitude. That's one thing that's missing. And he says, well, let's write a book about it. We're sitting around one day, Chester and Marshall and I talking. And we said, hey, his great book, What Got You Here Won't Get You There. We said, look, one of the things that we think you should add in is gratitude.”

…discussing a pivotal moment when confronted about leadership style during corporate career
“During a routine leadership evaluation, an organizational psychologist handed me a copy of Marshall Goldsmith's book, What got you here won't get you there. She looked at me and directly challenged my style, telling me that my intellectual ability to outwork people was actually masking a total lack of deep relational connection.”

That was one of the first leadership books that I read because there's so many leadership books that tell you how to be a good leader. But in that particular book, it actually has a here's what not to do. And I needed that. Like I needed to learn that you don't have to win all the time.”
