PEARLS FROM ‘THE BOX YOU GOT’

In “The Box You Got: Transforming the World You Live In,” Steve Bigari offers several of what he calls “bigg ideas.” Among them:

We are all leaders.
“If you don’t think of yourself as a leader, don’t fear. It just means you’ve never gotten in touch with your deepest passions.”

Vision attracts talent.
“Great vision transfers the passion of your heart into the hearts of others.”

Always consider the question, ‘What’s in it for me?’
“The bottom line to collaboration is that it works best when the people involved pursue their vested self-interests.”

Don’t take “no” for an answer.
“Wise people seek alternate ways to get a job done even in the face of opposition, dissent or naysaying. Whatever you’re faced with, there is a solution.”

If you’re afraid of failure, get over it — everybody fails!
“Swinging for the fences means taking more risks. You have to swing harder, commit sooner and react faster.”

You can’t put perfume on a pig.
(Well, you can, but it’s still a pig.) “Like the little child in ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes,’ don’t be afraid to call ’em as you see ’em.”
