Our goals should serve as markers, measurements of the progress we make in pursuit of something greater than ourselves.

A great leader will never sacrifice the people for the numbers.

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

Some in management positions operate as if they are in a tree of monkeys. They make sure that everyone at the top of the tree looking down sees only smiles. But all too often, those at the bottom looking up see only asses.

The reality is that fulfillment, success and all of these good things comes from trying to help those that we care about to achieve those things. How can I help somebody I care about find the job they love? How can I help somebody I care about find happiness in their work? And when we commit to service it actually biologically and anthropologically is more likely to lead to our own success and our own happiness.

I'm very prescriptive about who I work with.

I never imagined I'd write a book.
