  • Catch people doing things right.

  • Don’t wait until people do things exactly right before you praise them.

  • If God had wanted us to talk more than listen, He would have given us two mouths rather than two ears.

  • The fastest way to drive an employee insane is to give him or her new responsibilities and fail to provide the necessary instruction and training to do the job.

  • Leadership is not something you do to people.  It’s something you do with people.

  • As a manager, the important thing is not what happens when you are there, but what happens when you are not there.

  • Leaders help ordinary people achieve extraordinary results.

  • The first principle of ethical power is Purpose.  By purpose, I don’t mean your objective or intention – something toward which you are always striving.  Purpose is something bigger.  It is the picture you have of yourself – the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.
