Quotes from General Warner:
Trust your people. Build in them. Invest in them. 
Set the climate where people are appreciated for who they are and what they bring.
Your best commodity is your time. People respond when you spend time on them.
The opportunity to invest in people's lives is a great opportunity leaders have. They should never take that for granted.
