There is no 'grand conspiracy' preventing your from accomplishing what you need to do.

Doing the right thing isn't always easy - in fact, sometimes it's real hard - but just remember that doing the right thing is always right.

The most important thing you do as a leader is to hire the right people.

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.

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

You have to escape from management land and get in touch with your people.

The worst type of employee you can have is one who has mentally quit and is still physically coming to work every day.
