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?

Experiences isn't the best teacher - evaluated experience is.

Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Don't ever underestimate the power of planning. You can't make your vision come to life unless you outline each goal-driven step at a time. And you can't reach your full potential unless you plan how to make the most of your purpose and passion. When you look around and see people who are the captains of their ship, invariably they have taken pains to chart their successful course through life.

Strong leaders equal strong organizations.

Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

Sometimes the best way to learn is to return to the fundamentals.

Leadership, like responsibility, is a voluntary act.
