The quality of a leader cannot be judged by the answers he gives, but by the questions he asks.

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.

If someone's performance is down we do not say, 'Hey pick up your things here.' We do not yell and scream at them, we say, 'Are you okay?' The idea of putting our financials goal aside for one minute to express empathy for the human being for that work and saying, 'Are you okay?' That is part of the sacrifice.

I never imagined I'd write a book.

The next time someone starts listing all the reasons an idea won't work or can't happen, ask them to give 3 reasons it can.

Entrepreneurs see the thing they want or need, then try to figure out a process of how to get it. People who shouldn't be entrepreneurs see the standard process they need to go through to get the thing they want or need then decide if they want to go through that process.

Sometimes spending time with someone who is perceived as 'successful' can make us feel less successful.
