Your task as a leader is to help others to succeed, not to strive only for your own success. If I don't trust your motives, nothing else will matter -because my primary concern is your integrity.

More than any other factor, it is the people we have to deal with that determine the quality of our work lives.

I will not accept your guidance and critique unless you are supportive and nurturing. On the other hand, you need to be continually demanding.

If your clients aren't actively telling their friends about you, maybe your work isn't as great as you think it is.

I will accept your influence, guidance and direction if (and only if) I believe that you and I share similar goals.

When did you feel most fulfilled? When did you impress yourself, or otherwise feel most proud of yourself?

Stop teaching students that they are the best and the brightest.
