A leader with integrity has one self, at home and at work, with family and with colleagues. He or she has a unifying set of values that guide choices of action regardless of the situation.

There's nothing more demoralizing than a leader who can't clearly articulate why we're doing what we're doing.

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.

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

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.

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

If we're going to be authentic in our leadership, we will have to be willing to serve, and we have to be willing to suffer.
