In my experience, followers always ask leaders 3 questions: 1) Do you care 4 me? 2) Can you help me? 3) Can I trust you?

There are three qualities a leader must exemplify to build trust: competence, connection, and character.

If everyone doesn't pay the price to win, then everyone will pay the price of losing.

The ability to understand people is a choice.

Leadership is seeing the possibilities in a situation while others are seeing the limitations.

A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. By John Maxwell

If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win but think you can't it's almost certain you won't. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. A happy person is not a person with a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. I may not be able to change the world I see around me, but I can change the way I see the world within me.
