1. A leader worth following –people will follow your soul before your role
2. Work worth doing –everyone needs to understand that what they do these matters. They want meaningful work
3. A culture worth contributing to – When you believe in the culture, you are more likely to give and not just take from it.”
– Ben Anderson, founder of Propel Performance Group & New Zealand All Blacks Performance Labs
