Loyalty to the leader reaches its highest peak when the follower has personally grown through the mentorship of the leader.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision. Many people who approach the area of vision in leadership have it backwards. They believe that if the cause is good enough, people will automatically buy in and follow. But that's not how leadership works. People don't follow worthy causes; they follow worthy leaders with a cause they can believe in. They buy into the leader first.

If you don't change the direction you are going, then you're likely to end up where you're heading.

When a person feels encouraged, he can face the impossible and overcome incredible adversity.

The unexamined leader is not worth following.

People are training for success when they should be training for failure.

Tenacious people don't rely on luck, fate, or destiny for their success. And when conditions become difficult, they keep working.
