The world is a very big place and there are many wonderful people in with ideas you haven't thought about. Talk to them, find out what they're thinking, so that you can be the best person you can be.

We have a Marlboro Man Theory of leadership and change, especially in America, but in fact anything great that's accomplished is accomplished by many hands.

Indeed, we learn far more from our mistakes than our successes.

We all need to be astute in sending and reading power cues, so that we can prevent ourselves - and the world - from being manipulated by evil geniuses like Hitler.
