“A leader is always first in line during times of criticism and last in line during times of recognition.”

“Everyone carries a bucket of water and a bucket of gas in life. A leader has learned to throw the right one at the right time.”

“Leaders always choose the harder right rather than the easier wrong.”

“Average leaders raise the bar on themselves; good leaders raise the bar for others; great leaders inspire others to raise their own bar.”

“A leader must inspire or his team will expire.”

“Leaders know that the fruit of life is out on a limb.”

“Leaders who won't own failures become failures.”
