The leaders who get the most out of their people are the leaders who care most about their people.
Give someone responsibility and they will do their best. Make them accountable and they will do even better.

It’s not about how much work you’re doing. It’s about what work you’re doing and how you’re doing the work.
Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
Success requires both urgency and patience. Be urgent about making the effort, and patient about seeing the results.
Learn by doing. Theory is nice, but nothing replaces actual experience.
