Success is achieved in inches, not miles.

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?

The effectiveness of your work will never rise above your ability to lead and influence others.

You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the higher levels of influence, you have to work with individuals.

You are the only person who can label what you do a failure. Failure is subjective.

If you have great people around you, they will take you higher than your dream will. Leaders are never self-made. Those closest to you determine your level of success, so choosing the right companions as partners in pursuit of your vision is an important decision. My advice is to surround yourself with talented people who will challenge you, help you grow and inspire you to maximize your potential.

When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.
