Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.

What I learned: Shun nonbelievers. Ignore critics. Do your best for people who want to dance with you.

The problem with working with a coach isn't that we don't know what to do. The real problem is that we don't want to change our mind.

Most of your competition spend their days looking forward to those rare moments when everything goes right. Imagine how much leverage you have if you spend your time maximizing those common moments when it doesn't.

Organizations grow when they persuade a tiny cadre to be passionate, not when they touch millions with a mediocre message

Be personal. Be relevant. Be specific.

One bad review doesn't ruin my day because I realize what a badge of honor it is to get a bit of criticism at all.
