“People don’t listen to marketplace logic; they listen for meaning and purpose. Attention can’t be bought.”

Simplicity is power. The power to do less of what doesn’t matter and more of what does.

The only thing I envy in young people is their livers.

Simplicity: The New Competitive Advantage in a World of More, Better, Faster.

The paradox of simplicity is that making things simpler is hard work.

Before any interaction, ask yourself: ‘How do I want to make people feel or act?’ Put yourself in their shoes. The role of a leader is to create an experience that will inspire people to take action.

I lead no party; I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.

I hope whoever our leader is will do all that he can do to make our country safe and improve the quality of life for a lot of the people we have in our country, and I don’t think I am qualified to determine who that should be.

Leaders should lead as far as they can and then vanish. Their ashes should not choke the fire they have lit.

There’s two parts of leadership. You’ve got to be a good leader – you’ve got to be somebody that people want to emulate and care about the other people.

Not even always preaching but just leading, motivating them by being a leader.

The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.

Political leaders are expert at saying nothing.

A true leader helps people focus on their potential, not on their limitations.
