If we are to remain mission focused, as we must be if we are to be relevant in an uncertain age, the abandoning those things that do not further the mission is a leadership imperative.
Frances HesselbeinFew leaders are born. We learn to be leaders. We learn by working with other people and working through our philosophy.
Frances HesselbeinPeople know that pursuing a mission without achieving results is dispiriting; achieving results without a mission is meaningless.

The leader for today and the future will be focused on how to be - how to develop quality, character mind-set, values, principles, and courage.
