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.

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

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.

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.

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.
