The ones who show up to take, they show up and say, "Hi. My name is Steve. I'm an expert in this and I've studied this and I've worked with these clients." On every single power point presentation, it has their email, their Twitter handle and their Facebook account, so you can follow them. At the end, they tell you, "Please follow me." When you ask them a question, they say, "Well, I could tell you the answer, but you should really just read my book."

The responsibility of the company is to help the people, grow as people. If we can do that, then the company will grow as a company.

Very few people or companies can clearly articulate WHY they do WHAT they do. By WHY I mean your purpose, cause or belief - WHY does your company exist? WHY do you get out of bed every morning? And WHY should anyone care?

Good leadership is always human. It takes time and energy. It is hard work. Which is why good leadership is so special when we find it.

I'd rather play in the major leagues and have some bad games than play consistently good ball in the minors.
