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

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.

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.

You can't lead others to places you don't want to go yourself. If you don't feel a burning passion for something, how in the world can you inspire and encourage others to share it?

Do what you say you will do.

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

There's nothing more demoralizing than a leader who can't clearly articulate why we're doing what we're doing.
