• Mattering to my employees
• Music
• People who care
• Interesting conversations with interesting people
• Faith, hope, and love
• Solitude and space to think
• Solving interesting problems
• Laughing with my favorite people
• Having the trust of the people I work with and for
• Trusting the people I work with and for
• Love notes from my daughter
• “Shipping”
• Having my extended family close by
• Incessant learning
• Leading from “here” (wherever “here” happens to be)
• Watching my peers choose to lead

• Trying things that might not work
• Being a fallible and messy human even when it’s incredibly frustrating and disappointing
