From Michael Abrashoff in his book, It’s Your Ship:

“As I saw it, my job was to create the climate that enabled people to unleash their potential. Given the right environment, there are few limits to what people can achieve.”

Leaders aren’t meant to impose a climate—they’re meant to create one. One that’s shaped by listening, not control. When people feel seen, supported, and trusted, they thrive. And when they thrive, everything changes.
