“You know you’re a good leader when people follow you out of curiosity.”

Leaders have followers. The primary role of a leader is to convey to those followers a sense of purpose, vision, and mission.

Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity.

Get mad, then get over it.

Leaders honor their core values, but they are flexible in how they execute them.

The greatest gifts my parents gave to me were their unconditional love and a set of values.

If a leader doesn’t convey passion and intensity then there will be no passion and intensity within the organization and they’ll start to fall down and get depressed.

You can’t make someone else’s choices. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours.

We are not going to dwell on those things that divide us. We are going to rejoice in those things that keep us together to make this a better country – to reach down and back to touch every young person in need!

Trust is the essence of Leadership.

Effective leaders are made, not born. They learn from trial and error, and from experience.

I want to see policies that encourage every American to vote, not make it more difficult to vote.

You don’t know what you can get away with until you try.

The best method of overcoming obstacles is the team method.

There is no such thing as an unimportant person in an organization.

Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off.

One of the fondest expressions around is that we can’t be the world’s policeman. But guess who gets called when suddenly someone needs a cop.

If knowledge is power, then curiosity is the muscle.

Curiosity is one of the many masks of love.

Your curiosity is your growth point. Always.

If you don’t keep learning, other people will pass you by. Temperament alone won’t do it – you need a lot of curiosity for a long, long time.

Let your curiosity be greater than your fear.

The best spiritual instruction is when you wake up in the morning and say, ‘I wonder what’s going to happen today.’ And then carry that kind of curiosity through your life.

Curiosity is one of the most permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect.

Don’t be curious of matters that don’t concern you; never speak of them, and don’t ask about them.
