Great leaders love to see people grow. The day you are afraid of them being better than you is the day you fail as a leader.

I might not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but I'm pretty good at getting most of the other bulbs to light up.

Be candid with everyone.

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

Change before you have to.

If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.

Negative emotions, like depression or anxiety, have been shown to affect our immune system. Stress impedes wound healing.

A constant attention to the work which God entrusts us with is a mark of solid piety.

Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb.

Though very poor, may still be very blest.

See yonder rock from which the fountain gushes; is it less compact of adamant, though waters flow from it? Firm hearts have moister eyes.

Religion, whatever it is, is a man's total reaction upon life.
