I learned the value of hard work by working hard.

I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and besides the pig likes it.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands you need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that people will forget what you said people will forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel.

You have to enable and empower people to make decisions independent of you. As I've learned each person on a team is an extension of your leadership if they feel empowered by you they will magnify your power to lead.

In the military I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough important assignments.

The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. When I was leading a function or a business there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically they grow exponentially.
