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.

Leaders strengthen credibility by demonstrating that they are not in it for themselves, instead they have the interests of the institution, department, or team and its constituents at heart. Being a servant may not be what many leaders had in mind when they chose to take responsibility for the vision and direction of their organization or team - but serving others is the most glorious and rewarding of all leadership tasks.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Do what you say you will do.
