Booker T. Washington

We can’t form effective relationships with others if we don’t know ourselves. Knowing yourself, your story, your mission, your values, and priorities—it’s a requisite to leading others.

Scott Miller

Greatness lies within each of us. In order to find it, we have to leap over paradigms that limit us and toward new paradigms that liberate us.

Todd Davis

If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you give your life to?

Stephen R. Covey

Remember, it’s not what you say, but what you do that counts. As a leader, your behavior by default becomes the standard for everyone else. Not what you say.

Victoria Roos Olsson

The principle is simply this: We tend to get what we expect—both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more; when we expect less, we tend to get less.

Stephen M. R. Covey

Every child is born with unique gifts and talents. Be the one to untie the ribbons and open the package.

Muriel Summers

Competing priorities often prevent you from achieving extraordinary results. Redefine your current roles in terms of extraordinary results to achieve your mission.

Kory Kogan

Remember, life is a mission, not a career. A career is a profession. A mission is a cause. A career asks, “What’s in it for me?” A mission asks, “How can I make a difference?”

Sean Covey

Once you’ve decided what to do, your biggest challenge is getting people to execute it at the level of excellence you need.

Chris McChesney

The thing I learned is that you don’t invent your mission, you detect it. You uncover it, as it were.
