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?

A leader should not take credit when things go right if they are not willing to accept responsibility when things go wrong.

Trust doesn't develop from always doing the right thing. Trust comes from taking responsibility when we do the wrong thing.

The goal is not simply to 'work hard, play hard.' The goal is to make our work and our play indistinguishab le.

The people who say,"What guarantee do I have?" I walk away. I'll get you later.

Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. The irony is that it is the complete opposite. Leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.

To succeed takes more than the desire to win. It also takes the acceptance that we could fail.
