“You should never be so involved with your position/job that when the position is gone your entire self image is gone with it.”

Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible.

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.

And then there are encouragements to use heterosexual pornography or heterosexual images to encourage heterosexual attraction.

The image and the costs of a Berlin-like wall or a Great Wall of China is something that the American people have not accepted to date.

The image is a great reminder how we create our world through interpretations made up of language and symbols.

The image foreigners have of French cuisine is fattening and very fancy food. But it’s not true – French food isn’t just rich. The word “healthy” doesn’t exist in French.

After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can’t bring back anything to life.

I’ve never tried to manipulate my image.

The photographic image is a message without a code.

most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it’s a tribal thing.
