Chris Collins asserts that creating leaders improves society (better parents, better citizens) and argues business and personal life are inseparable. He emphasizes that passion and authenticity are integral to leadership and that dismissing personal commitment as "just business" is disingenuous and often a warning sign.
We say it all the time here that when we create leaders, we create better parents, we create better citizens. It's all connected. I don't believe in any way, shape or form that business and personal life are separate from each other. I've always found it disingenuous when people say, oh, it's just business. Because if you want me to be passionate about what I'm doing, it's not just business. Because my passion is a part of me. I'm giving you a part of myself when I come to the table. And so for you to discount it or somebody to discount it as just being business is usually a dishonest situation, and somebody's about ready to screw me has been my experience.
