“One of the most important things you can do as a leader is make sure you and your organization are delivering what you promised.

The future is dim professionally for anyone who doesn’t exceed the expectations of customers or clients.”

“Contrary to popular belief, I consider failure a necessity in business. If you're not failing at least five times a day, you're probably not doing enough. The more you do, the more you fail. The more you fail, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get. The operative word here is learn. If you repeat the same mistake two or three times, you are not learning from it. You must learn from your own mistakes and from the mistakes of others before you."
