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.

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.

Leaders who have integrity possess one of the most respected virtues in all of life.

If expecting something in return is your reason for giving, you are really not giving- you're swapping. If you receive something in return for your gift, what you receive is a bonus - not a repayment of a debt.

Take the time and energy to manage your boss the same way you manage your team.

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.

We all need people who will help us look at situations from a different perspective.
