Pursue the thing inside us and others will help us. Pursue the things outside us and others will compete with us.

I like stories of the classic hero, of good versus evil, the ones in which the good guys wear white and the bad guys wear black... and I love a good sword fight.

The hardest part is starting. Once you get that out of the way, you'll find the rest of the journey much easier.

Stress and anxiety at work have less to do with the work we do and more to do with weak management and leadership.

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 price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.

There is a difference between listening and waiting for your turn to speak.
