07 How I work
Be good. Do good. Dream good. “Go to the people. Live with them. Learn from them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. But with the best leaders, when the work is done, the people will say ‘We have done this ourselves.’”
Lao Tzu
Be good The inner work Clarity, discipline, honesty. You cannot lead well from a depleted place.
Do good The outer work Service and contribution. Values only matter when they show up in action.
Dream good The long work Leave systems more peaceful, inclusive and capable than you found them.
