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.

Few leaders are born. We learn to be leaders. We learn by working with other people and working through our philosophy.

The best part of the character and quality of the leader is expressing who you are in the work you do and how you do it.

Dispirited, unmotivated, unappreciated workers cannot compete in a highly competitive world.

You should be a living practicing example of what you are preaching.

Leadership is much less about what you do, and much more about who you are. If you view leadership as a bag of manipulative tricks or charismatic behaviors to advance your own personal interest, then people have every right to be cynical. But if your leadership flows first and foremost from inner character and integrity of ambition, then you can justly ask people to lend themselves to your organization and its mission.

People know that pursuing a mission without achieving results is dispiriting; achieving results without a mission is meaningless.
