When somebody tells you he or she is leading something, a fair question is, "What is your vision?"

I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. If you can connect with others at every level -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience-your relationships are stronger, your sense of community improves, your ability to create teamwork increases, your influence increases, and your productivity skyrockets.

The first time you say something, it's heard. The second time, it's recognized, and the third time it's learned.

Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

Personnel determines the potential of the team. Vision determines the direction of the team. Work ethic determines the preparation of the team. Leadership determines the success of the team.

Leading well is not about enriching yourself - it's about empowering others

Happiness simply cannot be relied upon as a measure of success.
