Making matters worse is people's natural inclination to be easy on themselves, judging themselves according to their good intentions-while holding others to a higher standard and judging them by their worst actions.

Although it's admirable to be ambitious and hard-working, it's more desirable to be smart-working.

No matter where you are in your leadership journey, never forget that what got you to where you are won't get you to the next level.

I say, make the decision, and as soon as you make the decision, the rest of your life you just manage that decision on a daily basis.

Loyalty to the leader reaches its highest peak when the follower has personally grown through the mentorship of the leader.

If a leader cannot give you a clear picture of what he or she sees in the future, that person is not the leader of that organization.

Believing in people before they have proved themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their potential.
