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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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
