“Catching people doing things right is a powerful management concept.”

Your mind and a computer have one thing in common: neither of them know the difference between the truth and what you tell it.

When you touch – don’t take. Touch people only when you are giving something – reassurance, support, encouragement, whatever

The greatest leaders mobilize others by coalescing people around a shared vision.

Empowerment is all about letting go so that others can get going.

Life is special when you reach out beyond yourself to be a true servant leader for others.

If you don’t seek perfection, you can never reach excellence.

Have I done what is really important today?

All good performance starts with clear goals.

A river without banks is a large puddle.

A little flattery makes people feel good about themselves. When you notice someone looking great, give them a compliment.

Get out of your comfort zone and do something extraordinary.

If you’re not ready to die for it, take the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.

Learn to laugh at your failures, smile at your wins and don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself.

Focus on making the best use of our own time, skills, and attention rather than being driven by factors outside of our control.

It ain’t over till it’s over

You have to change your life if you’re not happy, and wake up if things aren’t going the way you want.

Do not measure yourself by success, failure, or a degree. Measure your life by the dreams you have.
