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.

Trusted counselors, mentors and guides make an indelible mark on the lives they touch, and they provide the two ingredients to success in life--caring and sharing--that cannot be learned or purchased.

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.

One of the main things for a leader is to eliminate confusion.

You will never have enough time to do everything you need to do, so what you need is a crystal clear understanding of the important things you have to do.

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

There are a few things that you can do that will yield better results than doing a whole lot of other things.
