Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

In recent years, we've become enamored with our own past success. lulled into complacency by the glitter of our own achievements. we've become accustomed to the title of military superpower, forgetting the qualities that got us there. we've become accustomed to our economic dominance in the world, forgetting that it wasn't reckless deals and get rich quick schemes that got us where we are, but hard work and smart ideas, quality products and wise investments.
