There are so many different ways to lead. The most important thing is to be genuine. To have people around you trust you, trust in what you stand for and who you are. And I think that if people watch you day in and day out and believe in your motives and they believe that you set a high standard for yourself.

As a leader, these attributes - confidence, perseverance, work ethic and good sense - are all things I look for in people. I also try to lead by example and create an environment where good questions and good ideas can come from anyone.

If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself - your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers.

The most important thing is to be passionate and ready to accept the pains that sometimes go along with the business.

What I know about me is that, in order to lead, you also have to know how to follow.

The most important thing is being passionate about what you're doing and always give it your all. That is the key to success.

The most important role of a leader is to set a clear direction, be transparent about how to get there and to stay the course.

People really are our most important resource, and people who don't realize that and choose not to live that way, choose not to lead that way, are paying a price for that in many of our companies, many of our organizations.

Leading by example is the most powerful advice you can give to anybody.

When I finally got a management position, I found out how hard it is to lead and manage people.
