Ideas are like dreams; they will disappear unless we record them. Write a book, a blog, build a company, anything that makes the ideas real.
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.
Pushing yourself to be the best is unsustainable. Simply push yourself to be better than the day before.
If you don’t understand people, you don’t understand business.
We’d achieve more if we chase the dream instead of the competition.

A leader should not take credit when things go right if they are not willing to accept responsibility when things go wrong.
Safe is good for sidewalks and swimming pools, but life requires risk if we are to get anywhere.
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.
Our survival depends on our ability to form trusting relationships.
Remember to connect with people now and then. In fact, pick up the phone, right now, and call a friend for no other reason than to say hi.
