  • Tweetable Quotes:

    • “When you're a great leader, it really doesn't matter where you're leading, or who you're leading. I mean, it does because you have to adapt to the different environments, the different people and all of that, but as long as you have that rock solid leadership ability, you're going to be okay, you're going to be successful in whatever it is you do.” - David Carothers 
    • “I don't want everybody thinking I'm this massive Jordan advocate. Who I am is a fan of leadership, a fan of people who hold you accountable, a fan of people who will make you better.” - David Carothers 
    • “If you're above average, or you're willing to do what it takes to be above average, you're going to absolutely dominate.” - David Carothers
