All of the people in my life whom I consider to be close friends or colleagues are good thinkers.

What is your legacy? Are you intentional about the sort of influence you want to have on the world around you? Being aware of how you want to be remembered gives you a perspective on what is truly important. Leadership is influence, and relationships are the foundation of leadership. Nothing is more predictive of your legacy than the quality of people you surround yourself with.

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

Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.

Talent allows people to stand out, but their wrong choices make them sit down.

You can't become a leader in one conference.

The best relationships are win-win. Why don't more people go into relationships with that attitude?
