QUOTES

12:25 "My leadership philosophy is service, and then followed by recognition, and then after recognizing the people that deserve the recognition, then it's improvement. So it's growing people, but that foundation is service."

19:29 "I no longer have to serve myself to help myself get promoted or anything, so I think it was a great, liberating feeling. But I think some people never get that feeling because it continues to want to stroke their ego."

28:24 "Ethical dilemmas are when you have two values that are contradicting... and now you're having a problem with picking what the right answer is, where ethical lapses you know that that's the wrong for... and you did it."

33:08 "I think that treating people with courtesy, respect, withholding judgment, these are things that are universal. It's not just in the Christian beliefs system. It's very much across."

39:13 "If you're not self-aware, you are not going to make an effective leader. That is the first step. Developing that emotional intelligence is a huge part and a foundational part of emotional intelligence is self-awareness."
