Dave Kashen argues that grinding and hustling won't get you there. Google, Shopify, Adobe, and Atlassian leaders succeeded by operating from presence, love, passion, and inspiration instead. The most successful leaders are driven by either fear or love. Choose love.
You're being lied to when you're told that the only way to be successful is to grind and hustle. There are tons of examples of companies that have been wildly successful from a really different place. If you look at companies like Google, Shopify, Adobe, Atlassian, these are companies built by leaders who operated from a place of presence, love, passion, and inspiration. I had a mentor who said the most successful leaders are either those with the most fear or the most love. So you get to choose, would you rather operate from fear or from love?
