You can’t do it alone.” “One of the joys of leadership is knitting together teams of fantastic people.” “What kind of person flourishes in our unique culture?” (Something Bill looks for in people in addition to character, chemistry and competency.) “How do you inspire people to stay on the journey from here to there?” “Refill their vision bucket. Everyone’s vision bucket leaks.” “You have to celebrate every mile-marker you possibly can on the way to the destination.” “I think God still speaks to you every single day.” “The smartest moves I’ve made as a leader didn’t come from my human wisdom.”
