“A good leader leads from the front. Don’t get stuck in the office. Get out, meet people and listen to their stories.”

There is so much to be learned from listening to people’s hopes, frustrations, and points of view.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’

There are no quick wins in business – it takes years to become an overnight success.

The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me.

I am convinced that companies should put staff first, customers second and shareholders third – ultimately that’s in the best interest of customers and shareholders.

Chance favors the prepared mind. The more you practice, the luckier you become.

If you take care of your workers they’ll take care of your business.

Throwing yourself into a job you enjoy is one of the life’s greatest pleasures!

Starting a business is a huge amount of hard work. You had better enjoy it.

If you get into business solely to make money, you won’t. If you try to make a real difference, you’ll find success.

Life’s too short. If you’re passionate – stand up.

If you look for the best in your employees, they’ll flourish. If you criticize or look for the worst, they’ll shrivel up. We all need lots of watering.

The brands that will thrive in the coming years are the ones that have a purpose beyond profit.

Tough times are inevitable in life and in business. But how you compose yourself during those times defines your spirit and will define your future.

Talent comes from experience and failure.

Screw it, just do it!

Maybe all these tears are leading me somewhere. Because when the sun meets rain, something beautiful emerges. And perhaps I am a rainbow in the making.

If it was woman who put man out of Paradise, it is still woman, and woman only, who can lead him back.

Business leaders cannot be bystanders.

Truly remarkable leadership is not just about motivating others to follow, it’s about inspiring them to become leaders themselves and setting the stage for even greater opportunities for future generations.

One of our nation’s greatest leaders of all time was Hubert Horatio Hornblower.

The love of Christ comes from simple people who love simple people. Never be fooled by the spiritual leader who knows a lot but doesn’t love a lot.

The highest manifestation of true leadership is to identify one’s replacement and to begin mentoring him or her.

Leadership is stewardship, it’s temporary and you’re accountable!
