Do what you say you will do.

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.

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.

We have to recognize that however smart we are, we're not smarter than everyone else combined. . . . We can't lose sight of the fact that no matter how important our own contributions are, we couldn't have gotten anywhere without the help and hard work of lots of other people.

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

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