stand against the action, not the person

Stand against the action, not the person.

At any given time you are either breaking the rules, following someone else's rules, or you are completely out of touch with what the rules are.

Your life story is every bit relevant to the role you are in today, and your diverse experiences are integral to your ability to think differently than everyone else. Embrace them wholeheartedly.

Bring the big kid in you out to play more often. Take the sandbox into the boardroom and invite others in your team to think inside the box. Stay curious, imaginative, weird, daring, playful, and open because it's these very qualities that have spurred every innovation that we consider standard today.
