I love when my team repeat back something that has meaning and can help them. There is a common refrain of "Don't be a hero";

I made a big decision this week, and that decision came with a whole host of emotions and thoughts for me, and lots of reactions from others. And it got me thinking about whose words I listen to, and what sort of weight I give them. When should I listen to others, and when should I be listening to myself? Who am I listening to? The Purple Polar Bears Am I listening to the people who don't understand me? Who don't listen back to me? Who want me to play small to their ego or st
