If you focus on principles, you empower everyone who understands those principles to act without constant monitoring, evaluating, correcting, or controlling.

I find most meetings are a waste of time, because they are so ill-prepared and there's little opportunity for true synergy in producing better solutions than what anyone originally thought of. So I work hard to only attend those meetings that have strategic importance and miss all kinds of other seemingly urgent meetings.

We must not let the actions or words of others determine our responses. Magnanimous people make the choice to respond to the indignities of others based upon their own principles and their own value system rather than their moods or anger.

Personal leadership is the process of keeping your vision and values before you and aligning your life to be congruent with them.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

Those who get the most out of life and those who give the most are those who make the choice to act.

Trust is the highest form of human motivation.
