In the end, I've found, people like the direct approach. It's much more valuable to them to have a leader who's absolutely clear and open than to have one who soft-soaps or talks in circles.

Blame no one. Expect nothing. Do something.

The media dwells mostly on negativity.

Something goes wrong, I yell at them -'Fix it'- whether it's their fault or not. You can only really yell at the players you trust.

You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.

Success is never final, but failure can be.

What sets disciplined people apart? - The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand.
