NOTABLE QUOTES:

“We’re resilient, and we adapt to it. When we’re wearing the basic training, when we’re in the crack, when we don’t have sleep for a week, we learn how to lead and motivate ourselves each and every day.”

“The number one motivator for employees is recognition and appreciation.”

“Organizations need to focus on training managers how to recognize and appreciate their employees to keep them motivated.”

“There are differences in how to motivate and recognize different personality types on a team. Leaders need to understand individual needs.”

“A key to empowering others as leaders is understanding their capabilities and supporting them to lead in a way that fits their strengths.”

“What is the number one thing that makes a great leader? Someone who is always looking to replace themselves.”

“Leaders that create followers, anybody can do that. That’s not hard to do. But helping somebody see the potential that’s in them, drawing that out, and setting them up for success, not just today, but 5, 10, 20 years from now. That is a fantastic leader.”
