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.

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.

Do what you say you will do.

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.

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