A good leader remains focused. Controlling your destination is better than being controlled by it

The team with the best players usually does win - this is why you need to invest the majority of your time and energy in developing your people.

If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.

If you managed a baseball team, would you listen more closely to the team accountant or the director of player personnel?

The secret of success is changing the way you think.

You talk about seeing around corners as an element of success. That's what differentiates the good leader. Not many people have it. Not many people can predict that corner. That would be a characteristic of great leaders.

Keep learning; don't be arrogant by assuming that you know it all, that you have a monopoly on the truth; always assume that you can learn something from someone else.
