If you want to be around people who are positive and enthusiastic and eager to live life, your attitude has to be the same.

One of the main things for a leader is to eliminate confusion.

If your focus is always changing, expect confusion to be rampant on your team.

Your job is not to lower the bottom by adjusting for and accommodating the lowest-performing employees. You should be raising the top by recognizing and rewarding superstar behavior.

When it comes to leading people, there is no problem that is unique to you.

Until you accept total responsibility - no matter what - you won't be able to put plans in place to accomplish your goals.

Never lower your standards just to fill a position. You will pay for it later.
