If expecting something in return is your reason for giving, you are really not giving- you're swapping. If you receive something in return for your gift, what you receive is a bonus - not a repayment of a debt.

Everything you do matters because your team is watching ... and depending on you to do the right thing.

To fulfill you potential, you need to move out of your comfort zone and into the legacy zone.

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.

Frequently, the difference between success and failure is the resolve to stick to your plan long enough to win.

Give away everything you have learned. If for no other reason, do it selfishly; in order to get more, you must give more.

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