I wrote the book [Today Matters] because I have a passion to help people personally grow. Really what it is, it's a personal growth book.

If you're lying, you're lying.

The first time you say something, it's heard. The second time, it's recognized, and the third time it's learned.

Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.

When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.

Followers are always watching what you do. And people do what people see! If you are a leader seeking to make your vision come alive, then there is no better way to accomplish this than by living it: Modeling your expectations, setting the example by your actions, and showing the way through leading. Your followers, who are watching, will see in you the living picture of the vision, and you will produce the energy, motivation and passion to keep it going.

Openness by the leader paves the way for ownership by the people. Without ownership, changes will be short term. Changing people's habits and ways of thinking is like writing instructions in the snow during a snowstorm. Every twenty minutes the instructions must be rewritten, unless ownership is given along with instructions.
