No one is guaranteed a job in this.

Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence.

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

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

The art of managing and leading comes down to a simple thing. Determining and facing reality about people, situations, products, and then acting decisively and quickly on that reality. Think how many times we have procrastinated, hoped it would get better. Most of the mistakes you've made have been through not being willing to face into it, straight in the mirror that reality you find, then taking action on it. That's all managing is, defining and acting. Not hoping, not waiting fro the next plan. Not rethinking it. Getting on with it. Doing it. Defining and doing it.

If you can't energize others, you can't be a leader.

In my lifetime, Mitt Romney is the most qualified leader I've ever seen run for the presidency of the United States.
