INSIGHTS OF THE DAY
DAN: GAINING TRUST THROUGH TRANSPARENCY
“I'm a massive believer in trust, I think everybody is, but it's so foundational in my life, and so being transparent is one of the ways you gain trust, and I am incredibly transparent with people about my personal feelings about good and bad, and that transparency is one of the ways I gain trust.”
DAN: BE TRANSPARENT AND OPTIMISTIC
“When you're a leader, you're really in a position where I cannot tell somebody something that I don't believe myself, I won't do it, haven't done it, and I if I don't believe in it, I'll tell people, but I've been asking people to be at least open and optimistic and not focus on negatives, or assume the worst and then that I think we've had a pretty good run.”
