What I think about is about the opportunities that Mike Shanahan gave me as an inexperienced coach. I think about watching a Kyle Shanahan work. Just seeing the stuff he was running, his approach to different scenarios, and getting another understanding of what you can do as an offense... all of that helped me grow.

It's always a consistent approach of trying to get better, listening and learning from everybody else, and then that will help you become a better leader.

I think once you stop learning, you're going to stop growing.

To be able to win a state championship my senior year with the coaches and with some of my closest friends in the world - that was a special memory.

Notoriously outspoken, his sentences always punctuated with profanities, General George S. Patton was the epitome of what a leader should be like - or so he thought. Patton believed a leader should look and act tough, so he cultivated his image and his personality to match his philosophy.

I've worked closely with presidents, especially with President Obama, and I realized that what good leaders do at the national level is no different than what we do at the local level.

We should put behind us the era of diminishing trust in public institutions and weakened confidence in our country's public leaders.

Scott Walker has provided some really excellent leadership in Wisconsin.
