Impact. Less talk more do is a wonderful brain tattoo. You see, we live in a world where a lot of people it’s like, well, I read this book and I’m going to act on the ideas next month. I’ve got this heroic idea that will change and disrupt my business industry or field, and I’m going to execute on it next quarter. I’m going to be more loving next year. I’m going to climb a mountain in two years. One of the things we do as human beings is we postpone our greatness to some imaginary time that is perfect in the future.
When the reality is we all know that time will never happen. There will never be a better time to be your finest you and do your loftiest dreams than now. The Chinese say the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today. So leadership is about getting giant things done. It’s not about chit-chatting, it’s not about death by meeting, it’s not about telling your team or telling your family or your social orbit, what it is you’re going to do. We don’t care. No one cares what I say I’m going to do. Leadership is about a bias towards
gargantuan execution.
