This is so profound and I agree with it. I had watched that video and even used this thought in some trainings I have done with leaders and supervisors as a means of removing the idea that to be successful you need to be the asshole.

I was one of those assholes before as I went Full Sith Lord mode and viewed people as mere cogs and pieces to be played off to further my goals and bolster my reputation for being a person that gets the job done.

I was the shape up or ship out kind of boss and did not care for people. Fear was how I ruled people and my reputation is you either improved or get fired. And I relished this.

My biggest change was finding Simon Sinek who is largely influential in humanizing me and the way I work with people.

Thank you for this awesome post!
