What a leader learns after you've learned it all counts most of all.

When you are through learning you are through.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

What it comes down to, I believe, is that mentoring often involves telling people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. When you are able to be humbly honest with someone about a situation with which you have personal experience-even if you risk angering or hurting that person-you are offering the most valuable gift of all.

No one is an overachiever. How can you rise above your level of competency? Everyone is an underachiever to different degrees. The harder you work, the more luck you will have.

A leader must listen to those under their supervision.

Next to love, balance is the most important thing.
