I never set out to do the things I'm doing now.

I'm very clear about what I believe.

When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.

The most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists. Cowards, in contrast, cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye.

Quality effective leaders have the confidence to trust others to try, succeed, and sometimes to fail.

Risk deters those who see what they could lose. Those focused on the gain see it as a necessary part of their journey, even if the possibility of loss exists.

Start with why. And work really hard to make sure you're consistent.
