“A leader must care about the troops, but at the same time the leader must complete the mission, and in doing so there will be risk and sometimes unavoidable consequences to the troops.”

Generally, when a leader struggles, the root cause behind the problem is that the leader has leaned too far in one direction and steered off course. Awareness.

So how can a leader become great if they lack the natural characteristics necessary to lead? The answer is simple: a good leader builds a great team that counterbalances their weaknesses.

There is no easy way.

Faster. Stronger. Smarter. More humble. Less ego.

Instead of letting the situation dictate our decisions, we must dictate the situation.

Motivation is fickle. It comes and goes.

Don’t ask your leader what you should do, tell them what you are going to do.

That’s it. When things are going bad: Don’t get all bummed out, don’t get startled, don’t get frustrated. No. Just look at the issue and say: Good.

Leaders must always operate with the understanding that they are part of something greater than themselves and their own personal interests.

Remember to keep your ego in check. Don’t judge people.

Stop researching every aspect of it and reading all about it and debating the pros and cons of it, Start doing it.

Plans and orders must be communicated in a manner that is simple, clear, and concise. Everyone

Discipline equals freedom.

If the plan is simple enough, everyone understands it, which means each person can rapidly adjust and modify what he or she is doing. If the plan is too complex, the team can’t make rapid adjustments to it, because there is no baseline understanding of it.

Our egos don’t like to take blame.

It’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.

I don’t care about anyone, and the feeling is quite obviously mutual.

The love of a dog for his master is notorious; in the agony of death he has been known to caress his master, and everyone has heard of the dog suffering under vivisection, who licked the hand of the operator; this man, unless he had a heart of stone, must have felt remorse to the last hour of his life.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

We really care about our brand. We really want it to stand for high quality. We want people to be excited about it, for it to be fun.

We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.

See now the power of truth; the same experiment which at first glance seemed to show one thing, when more carefully examined, assures us of the contrary.

Friend, have the courage To care little for wealth, and shape yourself, You too, to merit godhead

Those who care for the little ones are on God’s side and defeat the culture of waste.
