“To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.”

“Remember that reputation and integrity are your most valuable assets—and can be lost in a heartbeat.”

“The single best way to develop leaders... is to take people out of their safe environment and away from the people they know, and throw them into a new arena they know little about. Way over their head, preferably. In fact, the more demanding their challenges, the more pressure and risk they face, the more likely a dynamic leader will emerge.”

“People calculate too much and think too little.”

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.”

“We need big failures in order to move the needle. If we don’t, we’re not swinging enough. You really should be swinging hard, and you will fail, but that’s okay.”

“What are the secret of success? - one word answer: "rational".”
