- A curious culture leads to better ideas
If there’s one constant that carried me through this year, it was curiosity. Surrounding myself with people whose strengths outpace my own has been one of the most important decisions I’ve made as CEO. It sharpened the work and raised the bar for all of us.
Curiosity isn’t passive. It’s the willingness to engage, challenge, and contribute, even when it feels uncomfortable.
- Leading doesn’t mean having all of the answers
Clarity doesn’t come from having all the answers, but from creating the conditions where the best answers can surface. My first year as CEO was a master class in courage, clarity, and connection. It deepened my belief that leadership isn’t about control, but trust; it isn’t about perfection, but presence.
In a time of rapid change, empathy and understanding aren’t just strategic advantages; they allow progress to endure.
Leadership isn’t about knowing every step of the road ahead. It’s about building a community willing to move forward with intention—one decision, one conversation, and one morning walk at a time.
