The most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists. Cowards, in contrast, cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye.

A boss who micromanages is like a coach who wants to get in the game. Leaders guide and support and then sit back to cheer from the sidelines.

To operate based on conviction and belief requires an acceptance that your actions could get you fired. This is different from pig-headed bravado, and it is different from putting the company at risk.

Most people ignore opportunities because they see only danger. Entrepreneurs ignore danger because they see only opportunities.

I'm a messenger. I'm one piece of a giant jigsaw puzzle.

If we don't give things a try, nothing will get off the ground.
