One person seeking glory doesn't accomplish much. Success is the result of people pulling together to meet common goals.

When I was 17, I made the decision to have a good attitude. I was a junior in high school; the coach said I was going to be the captain of my basketball team. I thought – that surprised me because I wasn’t the best player. John Thomas was better than me, and I was probably second or third best player. And I kept thinking, “Why am I going to be the captain?” I think everybody else was thinking that too. And the coach then answered, “The reason John is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. He encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up.”

Leaders will not experience long-term success unless a lot of people want them to.

Any leader who asks the right questions of the right people has the potential to discover and develop great ideas.

The person who does only what he must when he is in the mood or when it's convenient isn't going to be successful.

The only thing a title can buy is a little time-either to increase your level of influence with others or to undermine it.

Leadership is taking responsibility while others are making excuses.
