There is great joy in leading with authority, which is serving others by meeting their legitimate needs.

A seagull manager is one who periodically flies into the area, makes a lot of noise, dumps on the people, maybe eats their lunch, and flies away.

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

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.

Our top-down pyramid style of management is a very old concept borrowed from centuries of war and monarchies.

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

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