Remember, leaders, your job is to lift your team, not yourself.
A leader’s success is measured by the success of their people.
It may not be the trend right now, but you can choose to build the bubble you influence this way, one decision at a time. #Leadership #PeopleFirst #Management

Wild seeing all these CEO changes. (It’s not about the leaders; they will all land just fine)
The real story is how confused companies are right now. Swapping out the top job has become the shortcut when no one is sure what strategy will actually work. #Leadership #BusinessTrends

Nvidia’s $5T market cap equals roughly 25 Disneys, 50 Nikes, or 3,000 JetBlues.
It’s hard to justify numbers like that. I’d never bet against innovation, but at some point we’ll shift from building AI to optimizing AI. That’s when the real value gets tested.
