"Training is quite simply, one of the highest-leverage activities a manager can perform"
"Watered-down feedback can be worse than no feedback"
"I realized while I had told the team what to do, I had not been clear about why"
Lastly, A Great Curriculum Designer always pushes to raise the bar, never lowering it, they never surrender to the difficulties we face everyday
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive.
Never surrender.
