Your business, and your brand, must first let people know what you care about, and that you care about them.

If you’re interested in ‘balancing’ work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.

Most people think small because they are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning.

To be blunt, people would vote for me. They just would. Why? Maybe because I’m so good looking.

Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!

Your business, and your brand must first let people know what you care about and that you care about them.

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.

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

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

The best leaders are humble enough to realize their victories depend upon their people.

Even as entrepreneurs, we rely on people to get things done. We may have the original idea, but moving it forward can involve hundreds of people. Every person becomes integral to the overall success.

The challenge of leadership is to create change and facilitate growth.

A great leader has to be flexible, holding his ground on the major principles but finding room for compromises that can bring people together. A great leader has to be savvy at negotiations so we don’t drown every bill in pork barrel bridges to nowhere. I know how to stand my ground – but I also know that Republicans and Democrats need to find common ground to stand on as well.

If you wouldn’t follow yourself, why should anyone else?

I think people should be nicer to each other

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.

Don’t blame the boss. He has enough problems.

I feel like the thing we can do is celebrate people doing great work and create more cultural momentum and awareness that this is an important thing in the world. So when the next economic crisis hits and people are talking about where to cut from the budget, science isn’t the thing.

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

The art of leadership is a serious matter. One must not lag behind a movement, because to do so is to become isolated from the masses. But one must not rush ahead, for to rush ahead is to lose contact with the masses. He who wished to lead a movement must conduct a fight on two fronts–against those who lag behind and those who rush ahead.

The very essence of leadership is having vision.
