You must unite your constituents around a common cause and connect with them as human beings.

We have to recognize that however smart we are, we're not smarter than everyone else combined. . . . We can't lose sight of the fact that no matter how important our own contributions are, we couldn't have gotten anywhere without the help and hard work of lots of other people.

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

Leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow.

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

If you think you're a leader and you turn around and no one is following you, then you're simply out for a walk.

Leaders encourage others to continue the quest and inspire others through courage and hope. Leaders give heart by visibly recognizing others' contributions to the common vision. With a thank you note, a smile, an award, and public praise, the leader lets others know how much they mean to the organization.
