"The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it's to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they're valued. So it's much more about creating climates."

"In most meetings — and in most everything we do in business — we are usually trying to keep things moving forward and just ‘get things done.’ This is a natural impulse, and of course it’s important to get things done and stay on schedule.

- Warren Berger

"The people that are doing work that matters aren’t doing work thats popular. They’re just doing work that changes some people."

- Seth Godin
