Distance running to a professional athlete in my day was five laps around the field. And you stopped each lap to take your pulse.

Lynn Swann

I grew up an athlete. Track and field and dance. In track, I actually went to the Junior Olympics. I've always been very athletic.

Kimberly Elise

I like track and field for the simple reason that I determine my own outcome. I don't rely on my coach or the president or the CEO making a decision. I'm kind of like the CEO of my own corporation.

Marquise Goodwin

At the end of the day, when you command a certain power in track and field, you sometimes you have to exercise it.

Justin Gatlin

I do the whole 10-event thing, but at the end of the day, it's still track and field.

Ashton Eaton

The CEO is, by far, the most important decision for a company... The company is going to rise and fall with the CEO.

Carl Icahn

In a large successful company where your power base as CEO isn't all that secure, it's hard for a CEO to pursue a truly disruptive strategy.

Clayton Christensen

You don't think, when you start a company as the founding CEO, that if your venture actually works, you end up with three jobs: founder, CEO, and chair of the board. The first eight years at Bonobos, I have learned a lot about the tension between the first two. It didn't even occur to me that I had the third job until much later.

Andy Dunn

It doesn't matter what's written on a coffee mug or on a 'culture' slide; what you do as a CEO, day in and day out, and how you behave will define your company's culture.

Peter Levine

As a CEO of a large company, clearly we need policies in the U.S. government that are pro-business, because at the end of the day, we all work within the framework of a country's policies.

Indra Nooyi

Track and field is definitely a science and each year as an athlete you try to develop and become stronger.

Justin Gatlin

As a professional athlete you have to be technical with what you eat. You have to make sure your intakes are on point every day.

Hector Bellerin

I described the CEO job as knowing what to do and getting the company to do what you want. Designing a proper company culture will help you get your company to do what you want in certain important areas for a very long time.

Ben Horowitz

No athlete ever ends his or her career the way you want to. We all want to play forever. But it doesn't work that way. Accepting the end gracefully is part of being a professional athlete.

Alex Rodriguez

It used to be that you would go in to see a CEO, and you would ask them, 'Is your company for sale?' and if they said 'No, we have no interest in selling,' that was sort of the end of the conversation.

Henry Kravis

I was specifically referring to the regular everyday people that you come across on your come up. You never know if that intern that you disrespected might end up being the CEO of the company one day, you honestly never know who's who. It's easy to treat the stars and the executives with respect but how do you treat the security guards or the waiter that serves your food? You may have to cross that bridge later.
