"I try to be the kind of leader who still creates chances for people, even when that is on a path outside of the company I happen to work with.

I believe that we need more leaders who put people first, not just the company’s interests. That’s who I want to be. And I want to do it at scale, so I’m working hard to earn the right to be in that position."

I totally agree. As a trainer/coach for my sportsclub (korfball) you always need to focus on the players, not on the result. Pleasure in the play, even when loosing, is way more important for the long term.

This I take with me during managing the team at the company I work for. And I know it's appreciated on every level, both by the people in the team (obviously), but also from the higher management.
