Leadership can't be claimed like luggage at the airport. Leadership can't be inherited, even though you may inherit a leadership position. And leadership can't be given as a gift - even if you've been blessed with an abundance of leadership skills to share with someone else. Leadership must be earned by mastering a defined set of skills and by working with others to achieve common goals.

"To coach" comes from the root meaning "to bring a person from where they are to where they want to be."

Bucket filling is in the eye of the bucket holder, not the bucket filler. Fill their buckets with things that are important to them ... not you.

Doing the right thing isn't always easy - in fact, sometimes it's real hard - but just remember that doing the right thing is always right.

Press on. Your defining moment may arrive just when you feel surrounded by adversity.

If you want to make better use of your time, you need to be looking for the small increments of time ... a minute here, five minutes there, etc.
