When you see a roadblock or challenge as an opportunity, it is amazing how you are already halfway there.

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

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.

No matter what business you're in, everyone in the organisation needs to know why

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.

Leadership is a matter of how to be, not how to do it.

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.
