To be a better leader, I need to stay on top of these shortcomings, and being reminded really helps.  (Scott Weiss Quotes) Being on a board is not just about showing up for the meetings. A board member needs to materially contribute to the success of the business.  (Scott Weiss Quotes) One of the stated values at IronPort was ‘work/life balance,’ but I wasn’t living it. I was rarely home. And when I was home, well, let’s just say I wasn’t particularly helpful or cheery.  (Scott Weiss Quotes) The first day, week and month of an employee’s experience carries a lasting impression  (Scott Weiss Quotes) Be generous with your time and money - it has an amazingly fast payback. Be in the moment with everyone you love - and this frequently means tuning out work completely. And drive slow in parking lots.  (Scott Weiss Quotes) Feedback for leaders is often nuanced and difficult to deliver. That said, hearing you are passive-aggressive from 10 different people described 10 different ways becomes hard to ignore  (Scott Weiss Quotes) One of the stated values at IronPort was ‘work/life balance,’ but I wasn’t living it.
