The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. As you move up the organization, the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically; they grow exponentially.

The distance between number one & number two is always constant. If you want to improve the organization, you have to improve yourself and the organization gets pulled up with you.

Just because you are CEO, don't think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization. I've never forgotten that.

If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important - and you do that by being genuine and humble.

I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.

I try to spend my time on areas that I think are important for the future, and where I think I can add value.
