Quality of Leaders 🔑
JJ shares how Steve Nash helped him later in his career:
The best leaders create other leaders.
Deliberate practice is extremely important.
The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader.
Regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime.
It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion and start valuing quality over quantity.
