A short YouTube discussion (Chris Collins) about leadership emphasizing that leaders should be "rebels with a cause"—i.e., have a clear purpose that justifies deviation from norms—and that holding that cause helps prevent burnout. The speakers also touch on work–life balance with a brief personal anecdote about being away from home.
I wrote down the Always have to be a rebel with a cause. What do you mean? That there's always got to be a thing. There's always a reason why we're doing the thing. Right. So leadership is because we're trying to make the world a better place that never changes.
Rebel, you mean not following everybody. Not following the norm. Average.
So however everybody else has done it is irrelevant.
Work, life balance.
Yeah.
My wife says I'm not home enough.
Yeah. And the truth is, is that I think that you kind of said it too, is like, when we start to deviate from what the expectation is, it just means we got to put in more energy to get to work, back to where we're supposed to go. So I think that having the cause is probably the biggest thing to avoid the burnout. Because every time I think about leadership and all the stuff that's gone on with the building and all the things and everything like that, but at the end of the day, I've already seen what it does. I've seen how it changes people. And we need to do that on a mass level because it's what the world needs.
