Intrinsic motivation is more powerful than any other kind. Only the dedication to the craft and the feeling of mastery will unlock the full potential of a team.

I gained my first leadership experience in all-volunteer organizations. You are offering the team nothing material in return for their service. Instead, you offer a space for them to execute to the best of their abilities for the sake of their own personal satisfaction.

I wanted to learn how to grow my skills as a leader, so I attended the Stanford GSB executive education program.
