This is where it all starts from. You have to care about things to do them well. Care about your team. Care about your customers. Care about the product. Care about the scope, schedule, budget and quality. Care about what needs to be done and what must be left out. Care about the users. Care about sponsors and your boss. Care about yourself.

“Caring gives you a compass, a direction to head and most of all, a reason to do the work you do in the first place.
Care More.” - Seth Godin

“Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can’t help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”
- Colin Powell
