Leaders don't convince people to follow them. Leaders walk forward alone and those who want to go down their path decide to follow.

Remember to connect with people now and then. In fact, pick up the phone, right now, and call a friend for no other reason than to say hi.

What you do simply proves what you believe.

Most years, if you were to ask me how much I make, the genuine answer is that I have no clue. I usually find out the answer to that question once a year, at tax time, when my accountant tells me.

Remaining calm in times of desperation makes way for opportunity.

Usually what happens is somebody grabs me and they always pull me off to the side. Nobody ever does it publically. They say, "I didn't want to be here." Or, "I don't usually like people like you." Or, "I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me." That happens a lot.

Leadership is not a license to do less. Leadership is a responsibility to do more
