“When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.”

True strength is the courage to ask for help.

Bad leaders care about who is right, good leaders care about who is right.

Focus on long term success but be willing to make short term adjustments to get there.

The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own.

Every day we make decisions, big and small. Those choices paint a picture of who we are.

A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.

There are only two ways to influence human behaviour: you can manipulate it or you can inspire it.

Let us all be the leaders we wish we had.

A leader is the one who speaks last and acts first.

The role of a leader is not to come up with all the great ideas. The role of a leader is to create an environment in which great ideas can happen.

The quality of a leader cannot be judged by the answers he gives, but by the questions he asks.

Leadership is not about the next election, it’s about the next generation.

What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world.

There is a difference between listening and waiting for your turn to speak.

We are not victims of our situation. We are the architects of it.

Self confidence is the ability to exercise restraint in the face of disrespect and still show respect in response.

The essential job of government is to facilitate, not frustrate, job development.

I’ve worked on the urban agenda all my life. All. My. Life.

It’s a dirty job being ridiculous, but I’ll do it.

I was hired to be an actress, not a personality for the press.

If you ask men why they did a good job, they’ll say, ‘I’m awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?’ If you ask women why they did a good job, what they’ll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.

The job, of course, will never be finished. For a nation, as for an individual, education is a perpetually unfinished journey, a continuing process of discovery.

I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.

I knew what my job was; it was to go out and meet the people and love them.
