What fairness means

Your name for it may be leadership, but to others it feels like trust, fairness, and being seen - Dale Carnegie
Leadership is not a position you hold; it's a feeling you generate in others. The title of "leader" is meaningless if your team doesn't feel trust, fairness, and recognition.

The core message is brutally simple: Wealth is what you don't see. It's the unspent money, the deferred gratification, the financial potential you've chosen to preserve instead of convert into status symbols.
