Your goal, in other words, should be to make your bosses smarter, your team more effective, and the whole company more competitive because of your energy, creativity, and insights.

Nothing of any importance has ever been accomplished by a pessimist.

The most important job you have is growing your people, giving them a chance to reach their dreams.

Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.

Does coaching work? Yes. Good coaches provide a truly important service. They tell you the truth when no one else will.

Leadership is helping other people grow and succeed. it is not just about you. It's all about them.... everyone deserves a chance.... you can never let yourself be a victim.

The team with the best players wins.
