I am not infallible. And so, I will treat you like you must be infallible.'</i>"</p><p><i><strong>Nikki on having a leader who gives honest feedback:</strong></i> "Somebody who will tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong in a way that does not seek to coddle me or protect my feelings at all. I feel extremely disrespected if I can tell that someone is trying not to hurt my feelings. That feels like you didn't think I was strong enough to handle the facts of the situation."</p><p><i><strong>Nikki's view of success:</strong></i><strong> </strong>"Success is consistently executing the activities I said I was going to execute on in order to get to the big goal.
