Today, financial capital is no longer the key asset. It is human capital. Success is no longer about economic competence as the main leverage. It is about emotional intelligence. It is no longer about controls. It is about collaboration. It is no longer about hierarchies. It is about leading through networks. It is no longer about aligning people through structures and spreadsheets. It is about aligning them through meaning and purpose. It is no longer about developing followers. It is about developing leaders.

There’s nothing wrong with ordinary. I just prefer to shoot for extraordinary.

The path to success is through a continuum of mundane, unsexy, unexciting, and sometimes difficult daily disciplines compounded over time

Lady Luck shines on all, but rather than having your umbrella overhead, you've got to have your face to the sky. When it comes down to it, it's all you, baby. There's no other way around it.

Success is not for those who want it, nor those who need it, but for those who are utterly determined to seize it--whatever it takes.

Fear doesn't prevent death, but it certainly prevents life.

Luck is an equal opportunity distributor.
