Great leaders don't need to act tough. Their confidence and humility serve to underscore their toughness.

The concept of why is already in the vernacular. It is now a noun. "That company doesn't know their why." "They need to learn their why." "That politician needs to understand his why." We talk about it as a noun. That never existed prior to 2009. That never existed prior to 2006 when I first started articulating it. This is the most amazing thing to me. It has now become a concept. It's part of the way we think about businesses and transactions and decisions.

Communication is not about speaking what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.

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

The most basic human desire is to feel like you belong. Fitting in is important.

The worst leaders are the once that think they have to know as much or more than the people who work with them. The best leaders are the once who know that their employees know hell of a lot more than what they know and willing to admit it whilst expressing the value of their employees.

Words may inspire, but only ACTION creates change. Most of us live our lives by accident - we live life as it happens. Fulfillment comes when we live our lives on purpose.
