I've been seeing the change. It's been steady. It's been more controlled than people think. And my own belief is that China knows it also needs to be part of the world, and that it needs to be able to have trade with Europe and the United States in order to house and feed a billion people. That's really kind of single-mindedly what they see their role as being.

Good leaders don't tell people what to do, they give teams capability and inspiration.

Good leaders are very curious, and they spend a lot of time trying to learn things.

Values can't just be words on a page. To be effective, they must shape action.

There is no real magic to being a good leader. But at the end of every week, you have to spend your time around the things that are really important: setting priorities, measuring outcomes, and rewarding them.

Enron and 9/11 marked the end of an era of individual freedom and the beginning of personal responsibility.

Leadership is an intense journey into yourself. You can use your own style to get anything done. It's about being self-aware. Every morning, I look in the mirror and say, 'I could have done three things better yesterday.'
