If you get the best people on your team, you've got plenty of time to do the things you like to do and can add more value to.

Don't take a job because your mother wants you to. Don't be a victim. You own your decision.

Control your own destiny or someone else will.

If you reward candor, you'll get it.

Trying to get people to face reality and see the world the way it really is is an absolutely critical aspect of leadership, in my view.

My main job was developing talent. I was a gardener providing water and other nourishment to our top 750 people. Of course, I had to pull out some weeds, too.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
