Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.

Of course there are people out there who are helping others find their why. Some are doing a really great job and some are doing a not so great job. I love the fact there are people out there, and consultants out there doing that.

We must all try to empathize before we criticize. Ask someone what's wrong before telling them they are wrong.

I'm investing in myself, I'm investing in others and I'm investing in my cause. I know if I persist it will pay back in dividends and it always does.

So much of starting a business or affecting change is the confidence and courage to simply try.

I never imagined working with CEOs, congressmen or the military, yet I make regular visits to the Pentagon, stop by the Capitol now and then and sit down with leaders of all kinds of companies.

The true value of a leader is not measured by the work they do. A leader's true value is measured by the work they inspire others to do.
