Your people give their days (and sometimes their nights) to you. They give their hands, brains, and hearts. Sure, the company pays them. It fills their wallets. But as a leader, you need to fill their souls. You can do that by getting in their skin, by giving the work meaning, by clearing obstacles, and by demonstrating the generosity gene. And you can do it, perhaps most powerfully, by creating an environment that's exciting and enjoyable.

All I knew was that she was the audience he chose.

~ Jacqueline Carey
Beauty inspires love; so it is said, in Terre d'Ange. Was it done that we might find this world worthy of loving?
