When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. Disagreement, at this state, stimulates me. But once a decision is made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.

You should never be so involved with your position/job that when the position is gone your entire self image is gone with it.

Always focus on the front windshield and not the review mirror.

I think whether you're having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.
