The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.

I have a plan of action, but the game is a game of adjustments.

I believe work is good. There is dignity in work. I also believe that a hard-work ethic forges strong leaders.

If a team cannot perform with excellence at a moment's notice, they probably will fail in the long run.

The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions. Not me. I don't want to be a manager or a dictator. I want to be a leader-and leadership is ongoing, adjustable, flexible, and dynamic. As such, leaders have to maintain a certain amount of discretion

Courage gives a leader the ability to stand straight and not sway, no matter which way the wind blows.

Confrontation simply means meeting the truth head-on.
