The unexamined leader is not worth following.

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

COMMUNICATION: If I had to pick a first rule of communication-the one practice above all others that opens the door to connecting with others-it would be to look for common ground. Too often people see communication as the process of transmitting massive amounts of information to other people. But that's the wrong picture. Communication is a journey. The more that people have in common, the better the chance that they can take that journey together.

Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do.

Have to sow excellent seeds to have an excellent life. Must start with sowing excellent thoughts.

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. Success doesn't just suddenly occur one day in someone's life. Neither does failure. Each is a process. Every day of your life is merely preparation for the next. What you become is the result of what you do today.

Leadership has less to do with position than it does with disposition.
