Quotes
“At my stepfather's funeral, the first time I'd ever heard the cadet prayer from West Point, there's a line in there: ‘make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong and never be content with a half truth when the whole can be one.’ And I heard it in that moment at his funeral, and it stuck with me ever since. And I was like, that is the path.”
“(Great leaders say), this is the commitment we're gonna commit to…great leaders have that ability, but they're not there to be liked. And I think one of the things we've created in the leadership is, ‘oh, you've gotta be this all inclusive everybody likes you‘ leader. No, it's not gonna work.”
