Lead Beyond the Echo of Other People’s Opinions

A note to young leaders.

Beware of seeing yourself through other people’s eyes.

Reputation is nothing more than what people who don’t know you think of you.

Good or bad, praise or blame – don’t let that touch you.

Let it be like water off a duck’s back.

Concern yourself only with the opinion of a handful of people who know you best and whose values you share and admire.
