- Why integrity is important for a leader
Key Quotes
"I never really learnt a lesson unless it cost me money in business."
“Don’t question yourself. You made the decision, you made it for the right reason… By right you should do everything in your power to make that decision go the way you’re expecting it to go.”
“I don’t believe there is any dumb ideas. There are ideas that fly and ideas that don’t necessarily fly.”
