Great companies don’t hire skilled people and motivate them, they hire already motivated people and inspire them. People are either motivated or they are not. Unless you give motivated people something to believe in, something bigger than their job to work toward, they will motivate themselves to find a new job and you’ll be stuck with whoever’s left.

Because a true sense of purpose is deeply emotional, it serves as a compass to guide us to act in a way completely consistent with our values and beliefs. Purpose does not need to involve calculations or numbers. Purpose is about the quality of life. Purpose is human, not economic.

Believing that your competition is stronger and better than you pushes you to better yourselves.

I like stories of the classic hero, of good versus evil, the ones in which the good guys wear white and the bad guys wear black... and I love a good sword fight.

Great leaders must have two things: a vision of the world that does not yet exist and the ability to communicate that vision clearly.

Poor leaders push us towards the goal. Great leaders guide us through the journey.

Success always takes help. Failure is done alone.
