You don't know what you can get away with until you try.

If you get the dirty end of the stick, sharpen it and turn it into a useful tool.

Actually, there is no more important task for a leader than to pick people. To make sure you have the very best people working for you.

Let me blow that up for you again.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

The bottom line in all of it is that, in life, it's all about people.

Good leaders set vision, missions, and goals. Great leaders inspire every follower at every level to internalize their purpose, and to understand that their purpose goes far beyond the mere details of their job. When everyone is united in purpose, a positive purpose that serves not only the organization but also, hopefully, the world beyond it, you have a winning team.
