Will Guidara learned the importance of integrity from his father, who exemplified this value by caring for his quadriplegic wife for 14 years. His father's motto, "Life is filled with crossroads; at each one, ask yourself what right looks like and do that," underscores this principle, even when the right choice isn't in one's short-term best interest.
Despite being a quadriplegic, his mother's reckless love and radiant smile had a profound impact on him. Her persistence in living beyond her prognosis to support him instilled in him the belief in the power of love and determination. This experience shaped his approach to life and relationships, inspiring him to prioritize connection and presence.
Unreasonable hospitality involves being creative and intentional in pursuing relationships. While it's a business concept, Guidara believes it extends to all relationships. It means going above and beyond expectations, even with strangers, as demonstrated by the gate agents' interactions with his daughter. In marriage, it translates to actively pursuing one's partner daily and choosing to love them.
Guidara's father instilled in him a disdain for "I can't," emphasizing the importance of believing in oneself and pursuing goals without fear of failure. He was given a paperweight inscribed with "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" as a constant reminder of this principle.
The charitable assumption involves asking a question before making a judgment, giving people the benefit of the doubt. For instance, instead of assuming someone is late because they are inconsiderate, ask if they are okay. This promotes understanding and prevents miscommunication, improving relationships both at work and at home.
Yes, Guidara is optimistic about Gen Z. He believes that much of the criticism stems from older generations failing to adapt their leadership styles to the needs of younger workers. He advocates for understanding their "love language" and giving them a seat at the table in decision-making processes.
