Don’t get sidetracked. If you do get sidetracked, get back on track as soon as possible. Ultimately sidetracking kills you.

You learn their honesty, you learn their competitiveness. You learn a lot about a person. It’s not that they have to sink the putt and there’s a great deal of talent involved – but you do learn about how competitive a person is on the golf course, and frankly, how honest.

I never attacked Rand Paul on his looks, and believe me, there’s plenty of subject matter right there.

Remember there’s no such thing as an unrealistic goal, just unrealistic time frames!

I have a very simple rule when it comes to management: hire the best people from your competitors, pay them more than they were earning, and give them bonuses and incentives based on their performance. That’s how you build a first-class operation.

Don’t underestimate yourself or your possibilities.

Most great leaders in history that I’ve studied always need to get as wide a range of opinions as possible so that they can have sufficient information to make the right decisions.

Leaders who are effective are leaders who are disciplined in their daily lives.

It’s easy to demonise people, you’re usually wrong about it, people are nicer than you think.

As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.

Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.

I judge people based on their capability, honesty, and merit.

The very essence of leadership is having vision.

The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.

Respect people with less power then you. I don’t care if you’re the most powerful cat in the room, I will judge you on how you treat the least powerful. So there.

You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

Everything rises and falls on leadership.

You do your job, you keep your job. Do it well, you get a better job.

But real leadership comes from the quiet nudging of an inner voice. It comes from realizing that the time has come to move beyond waiting to doing.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
