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

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

The word "story" is short for the word "history." They both have the same root and fundamentally mean the same thing. A story is a narrative on an event or series of events, just like history.

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.

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.

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?
