- A leader motivates people

DeVos said future growth in West Michigan will be generated by the people who live here, as it has been in the past.
"The main thing to do is stop thinking that somebody is going to come in and build a big factory here and create a lot of jobs," he said. "We're going to do it. Growth is going to come from us and our children."
