Every one of us has the capacity to lead.

When you start with why, which decision you make becomes very easy. It is so hard to do when you may suffer a short term loss or you may lose out on some short term gain. But in the long run it's way more powerful and way more stable.

Leaders don’t complain about what’s not working. Leaders celebrate what is working and work to amplify it.

I can't stand those people, speakers in a room, they say this all the time, If I can just help one person in this room, I've done my job. You have an audience of 500 people and your standard of success is one person? That's terrible. If you help one person in the room, you're an abject failure. You have to change something.

Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people 'feel' heard. They 'feel' that someone really understands their wants, needs and desires. And for good reason a good listener does care to understand.

There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or influence. Those who lead inspire us.

Outside advice can only tell you how a decision looks. Only you can know how it feels. The best decisions look and feel right.

To succeed takes more than the desire to win. It also takes the acceptance that we could fail.

Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.

When you can wake up in the morning and feel successful whether some end goal is realized or not...THAT is true success.

I'm building on purpose. I'm building that tipping point. I'm building that law of diffusion of innovation.

Rule books tell people what to do. Frameworks guide people how to act. Rule books insist on discipline. Frameworks allow for creativity.

Leaders don't look for recognition from others, leaders look for others to recognize.

The bad leaders are the ones that push hard so they can gain, who brow beat us so that they can receive the benefit of our hard work, not so we can enjoy the success
