The leader is there for the people, not the people for the leader

Before you can do anything else in the lives of others, you must show them love.

Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.

Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.

I vividly remember a conversation I had many years ago in 1974, which marked a turning point in my leadership journey. I was sitting at a Holiday Inn with my friend, Kurt Campmeyer, when he asked me if I had a personal growth plan. I didn't. In fact, I didn't even know you were supposed to have one.

If you want to do a few small things right, do them yourself. If you want to do great things and make a big impact, learn to delegate.
