You learn far more from negative leadership than from positive leadership. Because you learn how not to do it. And, therefore, you learn how to do it.

I learned hard lessons, and I've taken that lesson and it's helped me become a better business person and a better leader.

My four years in the Marine Corps left me with an indelible understanding of the value of leadership skills.

Leadership is one of the things I really strive to excel in in my life.

I have learned to pare down what I do and still be effective and strong in a role.

I think leadership is not something you learn; it's something you discover.

I learned that leadership is about falling in love with the people and the people falling in love with you. It is about serving the people with selflessness, with sacrifice, and with the need to put the common good ahead of personal interests.

Even back in elementary school, I was a leader, but a leader who didn't know how to channel my leadership skills in a constructive way. When I was younger, it probably came out as being more of a bossy little kid.

Leadership is something I was born with.

My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.
