• Learning organizations are built on storytelling, shared myths, and cultural narratives—not mission statements.
• The gap between training and education lies in understanding the "why" behind skills, not just the "how."
• Mistakes are not just acceptable—they're essential for growth and should be part of a deliberate feedback loop.
• Younger workers thrive in environments that recognize and label their skills as valuable.
• True leadership means modeling vulnerability, owning mistakes, and fostering loyalty through empathy.
