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

The most important thing I've learned since becoming CEO is context. It's how your company fits in with the world and how you respond to it.

It's the sustained ability to change that really counts.

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.'

Seeing people in person is a big part of how you drive any change process. You have to show people a positive view of the future and say "we can do it"

Work hard with passion and courage. Life is a marathon of contribution. You really must work hard to accomplish something... Find your passion and get good at it.

I was Chairman for two days. I had an airplane with my engines, hit a building I insured, was covered by a network I owned and I still have to increase earnings by 11 percent.
