‘Once you have compiled your entourage, it is always with you, wherever you go.’
‘Practices are what will connect your reflection to your actions.’
Douglas Conant & Amy Federman
‘To practice well, you can’t just do the same thing over and over again. While practice sometimes requires repetition, repetition alone is not practice; repetition and practice are not the same thing.’

‘Deliberate practice requires dedication and smart application.’
‘People who think they can get better often do. Just by acknowledging that progress is possible, you are already one step ahead.’
‘You can’t become a world-class leader without being anchored in the fundamentals of your craft, the craft of leading people.’
‘Leadership is the art and science of influencing others in a specific direction. … Leadership is about influencing people in any direction- up, down, or sideways.’
‘Leadership is all about the people. Leaders need followers. Followers are earned; they’re not guaranteed on the merit of your title alone.’
