Great leaders don’t try to be perfect. They try to be themselves. And that’s what makes them great.

Our reputations do not come from how we talk about ourselves. Our reputations come from how others talk about us.

The leader's job is to lead and protect. Not have all the answers, not know everything to do, not to micromanage and tell people what to do or how to do it. A leader's job is to lead and protect. That's their job, and it's the people within the organization - their job is to get the work done.

People will do as they are told by someone who outranks them, but they will only follow someone they believe in.

If our parents fixed everything for us and did not allow us to do anything on our own, or intervened every single time, we would all grow up to be completely dependent.

I'm interested in the left side of the Bell Curve.

We can not lead an organization, we can run an organization. We can only lead people.
