Make a careful list of all things done to you that you abhorred. Don't do them to others, ever.

The most abundant, least used, and most abused resource in the world is human spirit and ingenuity.

Language was a huge expansion of that capacity to deal with information.

If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates,' then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.

As I like to say, the entire collective memory of the species - that means all known and recorded information - is going to be just a few keystrokes away in a matter of years.

Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time leading yourself-your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers. If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates,' then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.

Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia.
