If you spend all the time to get better at the things you’re intrinsically rubbish you won’t get on with the job of being a leader.

Great leaders are necessarily unbalanced; they just know they are.

Knowing which weaknesses to disclose is highly honed art.. A leader should reveal only a tangential flaw, or perhaps several of them. Paradoxically this admission will help divert attention from any major flaws.

It really resonated with me! I’m in “finding myself” period of my life right now and idea of getting lost for a while sounds just great to me.
