Leadership is not about personality, possessions, or charisma, but all about who you are as a person. I used to believe that leadership was about style but now I know that leadership is about substance, namely character.

A rut... is little more than a coffin with the ends kicked out.

As leaders we do not create growth. The best we can do is create an environment that is conducive to growth. It is like planting a garden. You do not cause the seeds to grow. To grow is their natural purpose in life.

It is a shame that so many leaders spend their time pondering their rights as leaders instead of their awesome responsibilities as leaders.

Power: The ability to force or coerce someone to do your will, even if they would choose not to, because of your position or your might.

Authority cannot be bought or sold, given or taken away.

Those who follow the crowd will never be followed by the crowd.
