Concentrate on what will produce results rather than on the results, the process rather than the prize.

By instinct we-leaders-want to run hard all the time; by intellect we know this is not possible. Reconciling those two positions in the context of leadership is an ongoing challenge.

I caution against beginning or ending a quotation with ellipses

To a winner, complacency and overconfidence can be destructive. To losers, desperation and despondency are just as harmful.

The culture precedes positive results. It doesn't get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they're champions: they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.

Find a great mentor who believes in you, your life will change forever!

Invest in great relationships, they will pay a lifetime of dividends.
