Always plan for the fact that no plan ever goes according to plan.

Returning from work feeling inspired, safe, fulfilled and grateful is a natural human right to which we are all entitled and not a modern luxury that only a few lucky ones are able to find.

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

Look down from as high as possible. Look ahead as far as you can see. Then decide what to do.

Listening is not understanding the words of the question asked, listening is understanding why the question was asked in the first place.

A leader, first and foremost, is human. Only when we have the strength to show our vulnerability can we truly lead.

To spend more money, you have to have more money, but time is fixed and we all have the same amount to spare. How we choose to spend it can make a significant difference on the impact we have in our careers or in the world.

It is a luxury to put our interests first. It is an honor to put the interests of others before our own.

And when a leader embraces their responsibility to care for people instead of caring for numbers, then people will follow, solve problems and see to it that that leader’s vision comes to life the right way, a stable way and not the expedient way.

The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.

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.

If we care about the average working American, then Wal-Mart matters. A lot.

A movement only exists when people are inspired to move, _x000D_ to do something, to make the cause their own.

Great leaders state out loud what they intend to do and in doing so, they get things done.

The goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what you have. The goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.

The goal of life is not to have our lives mean something to ourselves. The goal of life is to have our lives mean something to others.

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

Only you can take responsibility for your happiness..but you can't do it alone. It's the great paradox of being human.

Progress and innovation happen when you set unrealistic goals.
