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.

Leaders encourage others to continue the quest and inspire others through courage and hope. Leaders give heart by visibly recognizing others' contributions to the common vision. With a thank you note, a smile, an award, and public praise, the leader lets others know how much they mean to the organization.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
