Key Quotes:

• “The leader in a company has an influential role across the entire company, and I think there are a lot of companies big or small, who have forgotten what that word means… leadership. It’s not a dictatorship, it’s not my way or the highway. It’s a collaborative, influential position, and inspiring position.” – James Williams, CHPC
• “There’s that point where you want to turn around, you want to give up, but, you also know that’s like an edge, it’s a growth edge. You get the opportunity at that edge to turn back, and say, I gave it a go, but, I don’t want this enough. Or, you go over the edge and you just give it everything because the dominant force is your purpose, your goal, to get to that destination.” – James Williams, CHPC
• “What people fail to recognize is that the only reason you don’t have time is you’re working inefficiently, because you’re not giving quality output, right? Being a high performer is that you get to work less, achieve more, and be happier, and have more energy, and not be stressed.” – James Williams, CHPC
