Leadership + Writing a Book

• even though there's a gene for some tendencies, leaders are made and not born
• he wrote a book because managers aren't given guidance when promoted
• he started mentoring others and common manager challenges were around dealing with people
• Jim stopped watching the news because he wasn't sure who was telling the truth anymore

Integrity

• it's the foundation of effective leadership
• "Did I do anything today for my benefit that was at the expense of someone else?"
• Integrity leads to trust, commitment, focus, and retention
• to build integrity, journal, listen to your people, and take notes
• CEOs aren't necessarily role models, but they are easy to find references to help us connect the dots

Empathy

• put yourself in the shoes of your employee, understand the problem, and help them solve it
• "What would I want?" when thinking situationally about others
• very challenging to develop empathy
• we're afraid to say the wrong thing; first, start by listening
• ask yourself where you've seen empathy being shown and then model it
• people right now need to hear "it's going to be okay"
