Simon Sinek

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

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.

My concern is that we live in an economy in which stabbing someone and waiting for them to complain before we remove the knife has become the normal way of doing business. When did we lose sight of the fact that it's not nice to stab people in the first place?

I'd rather play in the major leagues and have some bad games than play consistently good ball in the minors.

I have been inspired by Martin Luther King and how he inspired a movement. I have learned that a cause must be organic; if it is to have an impact it must belong to those who join the movement and not those who lead it.

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