“Whether you like it or not, you will leave a leadership legacy.”

If becoming a high performing organization is the destination, leadership is the engine.

People who feel good about themselves produce good results.

Take a minute: look at your goals, look at your performance, see if your behavior matches your goals.

As a manager the important thing is not what happens when you are there, but what happens when you are not there.

Business is like tennis. Those who serve well win.

You have the power to help people become winners.

Take what you do seriously, but yourself lightly.

Knowing where you are going is the first step to getting there.

Learning is defined as a change in behavior. You haven’t learned a thing until you take action and use it.

Everyday do something in relation to everything that’s important to you.

We are not just our behavior. We are the person managing our behavior.

Connect the dots between individual roles and the goals of the organization. When people see that connection, they get a lot of energy out of work. They feel the importance, dignity, and meaning in their job.

Feedback is the breakfast of champions.

People don’t mind being challenged to do better if they know the request is coming from a caring heart.

Effective team leaders adjust their style to provide what the group can’t provide for itself.

Real communication happens when people feel safe.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.

And one day I hope your path leads you to a place where you love yourself as much as I love you.

One of the fundamental aspects of leadership, I realized more and more, is the ability to instill confidence in others when you yourself are feeling insecure.

Leadership is not a popularity contest; it’s about leaving your ego at the door. The name of the game is to lead without a title.

The length of life takes the leading place among inquiries about events following birth.

Thoughts will lead you in circles. Silence will bring you back to your centre.

To never forget that the most important thing in life is the quality of life we lead.
