Donald Trump

I have a great relationship with African Americans, as you possibly have heard. I just have great respect for them. And they like me. I like them.

I feel a lot of people listen to what I have to say.

It’s like in golf… A lot of people – I don’t want this to sound trivial – but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive… it’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.

I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.

{on Mexico] They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?

I think people should be nicer to each other

Your performance depends on your people. Select the best, train them and back them. When errors occur, give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong, help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Most great leaders in history that I’ve studied always need to get as wide a range of opinions as possible so that they can have sufficient information to make the right decisions.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.

I feel like the thing we can do is celebrate people doing great work and create more cultural momentum and awareness that this is an important thing in the world. So when the next economic crisis hits and people are talking about where to cut from the budget, science isn’t the thing.

When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.

If you wouldn’t follow yourself, why should anyone else?

You don’t reward failure by promoting those responsible for it, because all you get is more failure.

The challenge of leadership is to create change and facilitate growth.

Leaders, true leaders, take responsibility for the success of the team, and understand that they must also take responsibility for the failure.

Leaders who are effective are leaders who are disciplined in their daily lives.

I have a very simple rule when it comes to management: hire the best people from your competitors, pay them more than they were earning, and give them bonuses and incentives based on their performance. That’s how you build a first-class operation.

The best leaders are humble enough to realize their victories depend upon their people.
