I do not believe I could have built FedEx without the skills I learned from the Marine Corps.

Beginning in 1973 and then acts in '77, '78, 1980, 1994 and then into the 21st century in the international arena, governments have steadily gotten out of the transportation business.

My four years in the Marine Corps left me with an indelible understanding of the value of leadership skills.

There is no free market for oil. It's controlled by a cartel, OPEC.

I am not someone who tends to advocate for increased government involvement in the private sector.

Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.

Leadership is simply the ability of an individual to coalesce the efforts of other individuals toward achieving common goals. It boils down to looking after your people and ensuring that, from top to bottom, everyone feels part of the team.
