In leadership there are always problems to be solved and tensions to be managed. When you try to solve a tension, you create a problem.

If we start to dumb down what has been made clear, where does that stop?

The root of anger is the perception that something has been taken. Something is owed you, and now a debt to debtor relationship has been established.

Guilt rarely results in positive behavior. But gratitude? Great things flow from a heart of gratitude.

People pray in one direction but they walk in a different direction, and direction always determines where we end up.

The most significant visions are not cast by great orators from a stage. They are cast at the bedsides of our children. The greatest visioncasting opportunities happen between the hours of 7:30 and 9:30 PM Monday through Sunday. In these closing hours of the day we have a unique opportunity to plant the seeds of what could be and what should be. Take every opportunity you get.

In a volunteer organization there has to be time for community.
