I have a goal of being the No.1 pizza company in the world.

You've got to have free markets with limited government, with the proper amount of regulation where you don't jam entrepreneurship.

I just like building stuff.

The original goal for Papa John's was to make $50 grand a year and have $50 grand in the bank so I could get a date.

Leaders have to consider whether they have the right diverse perspectives at the table.

What differentiates leaders is the ability to recover following a mistake. I make mistakes all the time, but I cop to them, apologize, and move on. Contrition is powerful.

Leadership flows from inner character and integrity of ambition, which inspires others to lend themselves to your organization's mission.

Think well before selecting your leader, and when you have selected him, follow him. But in case you find his policy detrimental to your interests, kick him out.
