When my books came out, they started selling but they started selling at a relatively consistent but low pace. And they started to pick up the pace.

What I thought I developed all of those years ago was a pattern to understand communication.

I'm very prescriptive about who I work with. I'm very clear about what I believe. If they believe what I believe I will work with them. If they say things like, "Convince me we should do this." I walk away.

I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.

It's better to have a great team than a team of greats.

A good leader shares information, even if they don't know the whole story. Without any information, people create their own, which causes fear and paranoia.

Complaining begets more complaints. Anger begets more anger. And optimism begets more optimism.
