You have achieved excellence as a leader when people will follow you anywhere if only out of curiosity.

With vision only, you get no follow-through. With enforcers only, the vision is realized but leaves a lot of wreckage.

The commander in the field is always right and the rear echelon is wrong, unless proved otherwise. In my experience, the people closest to the problems are often in the best position to see the solutions. The key here is to empower and not be the bottleneck.

There is no such thing as an unimportant person in an organization.

If a leader doesn't convey passion and intensity then there will be no passion and intensity within the organization and they'll start to fall down and get depressed.

I don't know who all of his advisers are, but I've seen some of the names and some of them are quite far to the right. And sometimes they might be in a position to make judgments or recommendations to the candidate that should get a second thought.

I try to be the same person I was yesterday.
