Do not take the agenda that someone else has mapped out for your life.

To lead yourself, use your head; to lead others, use your heart. Always touch a person's heart before you ask him for a hand.

If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.

Confront your inadequacies and push your personal boundaries: It's the surest way to grow, improve and expand the scope of your influence.

The bottom line in managing your emotions is that you should put others – not yourself – first in how you handle and process them. Whether you delay or display your emotions should not be for your own gratification. You should ask yourself, What does the team need? Not, What will make me feel better?

If you show people how much you care and ask questions in a non threatening way, you'll be amazed by how much they'll tell you.

Anyone who loves his opinions more than his teammates will advance his opinions but set back his team.
