Only those leaders who act boldly in times of crisis and change are willingly followed.

Do what you say you will do.

Challenge is the opportunity for greatness. People do their best when there is an opportunity to change how things currently stand. Maintaining the status quo facilitates mediocrity. Those who embrace this practice do not wish to rest on their laurels. They motivate others to exceed their limits and look for innovative ways to improve the organization.

It is striking how our language reveals the visual nature of our thoughts about the future state of affairs. When we invent the future, we try to get a mental picture of what things will be like long before we have begun the journey. Visions are our windows on the world of tomorrow.

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

Only those leaders who act boldly in times of crisis and change are willingly followed.

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.
