Nobody is too important to lead the initiative you say is important.

I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

Ideally, the star will be replaced within eight hours. This sends the message that no single individual is bigger than the company.

The most important quality of leadership is intellectual honesty. The reality principle - the ability to see the world as it really is, not as you wish it were.

If we don't create private sector jobs and just - just creating public sector jobs, we're going nowhere. This is a bad game. You've got to have innovation. You've got to have tax policies that support innovation.

I never put myself out there as an employment agency.

Face reality as it is, not as it was, or as you wish it were. Be candid with everyone. Don't manage, lead. Change before you have to. If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete. Control your own destiny, or someone else will.
