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

Leaders must know where they are going if they expect others to willingly join them on the journey.

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.

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.

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

Do what you say you will do.

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.
