3 Key Points:

1. Effective leadership is about promoting and serving the people you work with – “giving other people the stage”
2. Opportunity doesn’t come with guarantees – there’s always a trade-off between return and security.
3. Adversity can reveal strengths: the challenges that individuals face are what lead them to succeed.
