I no longer think that learning how to manage people, especially subordinates, is the most important for executives to learn. I am teaching above all else, how to manage oneself.

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership.

Culture eats strategy for breakfast.

What gets measured gets managed.

The leader of the past was a person who knew how to tell. The leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

The key to greatness is to look for people's potential and spend time developing it.

The purpose of information is not knowledge. It is being able to take the right action.

The greatest part of our existence enfold in service of humanity.

In real life, love and hate are often only separable if we’re willing to recognize our demons and choose to become better people.

The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.

Jobless people will have no self-confidence. And they feel they are worthless because when you don't have a job you have to rely on someone.

You are only as powerful as that which you stand.

It was so dry in Saskatchewan during the Depression that the trees were chasing the dogs.

You never should feel like you've grown up because then you've stopped learning and you've stopped getting the best things out of life.

It's incredible how the human body is. That it could do so much. That it can go beyond the everydayness of life; That it can be extraordinary and powerful, and harbor a spirit of hope and pure will.

I have a zero tolerance for sanctimonious morons who try to scare people.

O heaven! that one might read the book of fate, and see the revolution of the times.
