It always takes a group of people working together with a common purpose in an atmosphere of trust and collaboration to get extraordinary things done.

Only those leaders who act boldly in times of crisis and change are willingly followed.

You can't lead others to places you don't want to go yourself. If you don't feel a burning passion for something, how in the world can you inspire and encourage others to share it?

It is striking how our language reveals the visual nature of our thoughts about the future state of affairs. When we invent the future, we try to get a mental picture of what things will be like long before we have begun the journey. Visions are our windows on the world of tomorrow.

There is no freeway to the future, no paved highway from here to there. There is only wilderness, uncertain terrain. There are no roadmaps, no signposts. So pioneering leaders rely upon a compass and a dream

The best way to lead people into the future is to connect with them deeply in the present.

Leaders must know where they are going if they expect others to willingly join them on the journey.
