conflict is productive

Trust is knowing that when a team member does push you, they're doing it because they care about the team.

Remember teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.

Great teams do not hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal.

Politics is when people choose their words and actions based on how they want others to react rather than based on what they really think.

I don’t think anyone ever gets completely used to conflict. If it’s not a little uncomfortable, then it’s not real. The key is to keep doing it anyway

Commitment is a function of two things: clarity and buy-in

No one should be ashamed to admit that they do not know what they do not know, in case while feigning knowledge, they come to deserve to never know.

May you get more out of life than a cup of tea.

Loyalty was a great thing, but no lieutenants should be forced to choose between their leader and a circus with elephants.

Culture should be a business ‘app, ’ everyone can apply it daily.

The light of God surrounds me The love of God enfolds me The power of God protects me The Presence of God watches over me Wherever I am God is.

We should make decisions in life with our hearts, not our brains, not only in music but in daily life.

Being a part of success is more important than being personally indispensable.

What we need is a strong defense, but right now there is zero chance of an invasion by another country and right now we have more firepower than all other countries put together.

I've had to work hard all my life, and I will never, ever ask a fan or reader to pay for something I've rushed. It's not fair to them, and I will never give them anything except my absolute best.

From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
