Remarkable work is always not on the list, because if it was, it would be commonplace, not remarkable.

leadership believe simple
The secret of leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. Go there. People will follow.
opportunity thinking way
Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, "You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.
real winning people
It’s okay. Let your ego push you to be the initiator. But tell your ego that the best way to get something shipped is to let other people take the credit. The real win for you (and your ego) is seeing something get shipped, not in getting the credit when it does.
