ONE OF CHRIS'S FAVORITE QUOTES— HIS OWN
"I have been with the outhouse people in Mississippi and lived with the White House people at Harvard. There is no difference in the quality of the two."
He knows that much of what happens to people is driven by their starting advantages. He believes the leveling force for all is knowing what the best leaders really do- and how they train themselves to be able to do it.
"Chris Simmons has a gift."
