Good leadership isn't about advancing yourself. It's about advancing your team.

As you get older, time speeds up but life slows down.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to...failure.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Most people want to avoid pain, and discipline is usually painful.

The only thing we can control is what we do in the present. The more we replay yesterday, the further we get from today's opportunities. And the further away we move from opportunities, the tougher the road is to get back. Opportunities never look as good coming as they do going, and they wait for no one. We need to be highly attentive to spot them. And we must be focused on our present capabilities, not past regrets.

Team leaders have to connect with their team and themselves. If they don't know their team's strengths and weaknesses, they cannot hand off responsibilities to the team. And if they don't know their own strengths and weaknesses, they will not hand off responsibilities to the team.
